    Front CV axle shafts

    Are these the same on our car as the A6? Lifted mine up and saw that the rubber is torn up on both sides. What's the best place to get the parts? Thanks as always!!

    Lots of the board members use raxles.com and replace the full axle. I have found success with aftermarket alternatives for just the outer joints on the front (GKN/Loebro) and similar for rear inner and outer.

    Raxles just emailed me a quote for $2499 per side. Is this a joke lol? Autohausaz has them for about $100 per side....pretty big gap

    **I emailed them and they said they made a mistake and it should read $249.99
