If it's outer CV joints the cheapest way to fix them is rebuild your own axles. You can get CV joint kits from ECS Tuning or Blau-parts. If you're going to buy all new axles, stay away from EMPI, FEQ, and all those other bullshit Chinese brands. Buy Raxles or OEM.

Not reallt junkyards that have audi`s nor less many audis that arent running around here. Everyone always drives there audis and then trades them in. but im.looking for oem quality axle if i can get for a decent price then id rather just get it then instead of goin theough the hassle of rebuilding cv joints and etc. but ive checked beauparts and i didnt see axles if i remember correctly only cv joints and rebuild kits

Blau parts doesn't sell whole axles and the ones ECS sells are ******* garbage. If you don't feel like rebuilding your own axles, buy Raxles. It's really not that hard and you'd be saving yourself about $200/side.

Unless it's new or used OEM parts I'd stay away from them.

hey not so fast. not sure if you remember but i had great success with a $20 ebay abs sensor. but now that i changed another wheel bearing i need another one. i frickin hate the fact that after every wheel bearing change the abs light turns on. but yeah, stay away from ebay for that kinda stuff
