Default My CV joint gooing Bye Bye?.......*cries*

First WHY GOD WHY!!!!

Next here is the low, in first gear turning or going straight and punching the gas pedal will result in a *tik, tik, tik, tik*. I have checked a lot of things and everything leads back to the dang CV joint. Is there anything I could of missed? {please tell me there is}. The car is 96 A4 FWD with 64k miles on the clock.

Thanks.

Default Buh bye CV... don't stress, though, it's not a hard job.

Just get a new CV Joint. This is a common failure point on older Audi and VW's.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/misc27.shtml">Andy_TN's tech article</a></li></ul>

Default The job should be fairly easy Ive done a few. But finding one for a decent

price will not be. Any places on the internet I should start looking at? The retailers here in Canada are killing me with the prices lol.
