hey guys whats up? on of the problems ive been having with my 96 a4 is this clicking when i turn, i couldlive with it but i was told it could jsut give out oneday. the audi dealer said it was prolly the cv joint or a bearing or somthing like that. maybe the axle i dont know. should i get this fixed or is it jsut sumthing i should learn to deal with? any other ideas as to wha tit may be?


any help is greatly appreciated thank you

 

I think we have already done this....Get it fixed! A clicking when turning is the CV joint. If you don't fix it, it could lock up. Not good, (read expensive).

 

Check and see which side you need and fix it for $60.86(1.8T) or $86.45(V6) before it becomes major $$$. It is s CV Joint & Boot Kit with everything you need to fix one side of the CV Joint. Shipping always free for orders over $49.

Yeah Ive already said it but I was about to pay $165 or so at ecs for the same parts i got from ecartoys for $107.. And even after i got the bearings and a new headlight, i still payed less than $165, well about that.

 

Its a DIY job if you have basic tools it's not to hard. From experience I'd rather replace the whole half shaft which is like $170 from raxles, then do the cv joint, i think 99% of the people would agree that have done it. Sh*t ecartoys recently has been known for low prices so he may be able to beat that price on the half shaft if he carries them. But in my case when i did it, it was just my boot that tore and i caught it early so i just replaced the boot. Such A PITA, should have found a new CV joint like you have to do and replaced it.

 

thanks for the info my brother said his mechanic can do the whole job for about 120 ish hell supply the part too seems liek a good deal. labor rate is 40 an hour so thats seems deecent, i hope its just the cv joint and not anythign else
