Yes, i spoke with Raxles,,,,they actually have an FAQ which discusses the very same chatter issue, it's from worn CV joints. LOL....

Mike

did this fix your issue? Not sure we are experiencing the same thing or not but interesting. Is this FAQ Available online to read?? Thanks man.

I did not replace them yet......

This was the quote from Raxles.....


"The axles for your 2003 Audi RS6 are $249.95(fronts)and $299.95 (rears) per side. Please keep in mind when comparing prices that at Raxles™ we use NEW outer AND inner joints on all of our VW/Audi axles. (An industry exclusive) (See our website www.raxles.com/nogrind.htm .For further elaboration on this important fact)."

I am waiting for my car to be back on the road before I spend another dime on it.......

See the trouble shooting table.....

Shudder while acceleration or deceleration. Worn inner CV joint. Replace worn shaft assembly.

A misaligned center drive shaft will product similar vibration if the joints are out of phase.

Yeah my issue is the same one falltboat has but diff then Aronis. Only noise is coming from rear end in first only when pushed just a bit harder and only on acceleration. Eh...rebuilding the trans and replacing shafts, torque converter etc can only help at this point I guess. It's more annoying then anything else.

I'm with Bigglezworth on this one, do yourself a favor and at least check the center support bearing. Easy and free fix if it's just out of alignment.
