ive been having problems with my 2000 S4's axles can anyone advise please and thanx???

 

Based on vehicle and problem information provided, you need to replace both of them.

 

^lol. what issues are you having with your axles?

 

LOL Seriously?

How do you expect help with a generic question like that?

If I were you I'd go with PPGOAL's advice tho

 

lol sorry folks i was drunk off my *** when i was trying to make that message and got side tracked so i never got to finish it.

anyways i first had a problem that when i was breaking from any speed higher then 25 my front right side tire would feel like it was bouncing up and down like crazy almost like it was gonna fall off so i drove it like that for almost a year lol mainly cuz i didnt have money to fix it. So i ended up going to a mechanic and they told me my two front axles were going bad and were at the point of falling off lol and also my control arms were going bad too so i spent like 1800 to get them replaced. all was good for about two weeks until i started hearing a loud click on the left front side kinda freaked me out but i ignored it then outa nowher im at a red light about to go when i hear a loud *** thump under my car like i stepped over the bum next to me lol but it was my ****** axle it fell off cuz the bolts holding it broke off soemhow so i took it back to the mechanic and they told me it was a defective axle :/ ****** great right? lol So im preatty much askin if this has happened to anyone and if so do u have any advice on where to get good axles from? preferably ones that can withstand high speeds would appreciate the help.

 

For quality: raxles.com, oem, or 034. (if you can afford them)034 ones are high grade for crazy hp.

also fcp groton is pretty cheap, but not great quality. i think they have a lifetime warranty, but you may have to prove you got them installed by an ase mechanic.

 

sounds like they may have used the wrong axles too - my buddy installed a set of axles for a guy on an A4 and a few weeks later the guy had issues with them. Ended up the guy bought Axles I belive for an Auto and he had a Standard. I believe the Autos were shorter and caused issues.

The FCP Groton do usually have lifetime warranty can you can buy them right at like AutoZone or Advanced Auto or Pep Boys etc.... only bad thing there is if they keep breaking you gotta keep paying to have them replaced.

If you got a good shop near you, or a good mechanic I'd just have him rebuild your OEM ones. You can buy rebuild kits online and then you know you got solid OEM Axles.

 

thanks for the advice guys it helps a lot
