Hiya,

I'm new to the Forum (and to Audi in general) and I have a question...

I just bought a '95 A6 quattro with 112K miles (2.8L,auto tranny,LSD). It looks like it's been very well cared for, and it runs and shifts great. However, I noticed that when making tight turns at very low speeds there's a slight clunking noise that sounds like it's coming from the front wheels.

I know that certain LSDs tend to make clunking noises under the right conditions...

I guess my questions is this:

Is this something normal for a 10-year-old quattro and if not, what should I do to check for issues?

Thanks,
Jeff

 

Check to see if the cv boots are torn. If so, you might have the problem there.

 

The CV boots look good and weren't torn or leaking or anything...

I forgot to mention that there's an occasional slight vibration at highway speeds. Also, the tires seem evenly worn and have around 75% tread remaining.

Would you recommend checking anything else?

Thanks,
Jeff
