Front CV Joints

Post by GusGus67 » Fri Jun 04, 2021 10:19 am

Hi,

All advice gratefully received.

Just get them from TPS or Audi. If not, then a reputable brand at ECP or autodoc. Failing that, Rockauto. There's nothing special about the CV joints. They are the same on all the A6 V8s IIRC.

I replaced one of mine with the GKN one Ben linked to above from ECP. Quality was good and it came in just over 80 quid.
