Description:
. CV Axle Assembly. Audi A6 Quattro 2001. Proprietary engineering processes ensure that all CV Drive Axles meet O.E. form, fit and function. Neoprene boots are designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress and cracking, which is the leading cause of boot failure. CV Drive Axle part numbers with an HD suffix are severe-duty applications and include a thermoplastic outboard boot for increased life and durability versus a traditional neoprene boot. A new axle retaining nut is supplied with every unit for a hassle-free installation, due to the likelihood that the original retaining nut is worn or stripped. CV Drive Axle measurements are validated after assembly to ensure a proper fit. Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped, creating a perfect seal between the boot and housing. High-quality grease withstands high-temperature and high-torque demands to ensure long-lasting, reliable performance. Splines are precision rolled to ensure proper fit of CV Drive Axle into the mating hub and transmission, which eliminates installation hassles. Threads are precision rolled to ensure proper fit when axle nut is installed. Transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to ensure correct surface finish, promoting long seal life.

Why?, FAA_A1: When the replacement drive axle was installed, the sensor ring, sensor, or sensor wiring on or near the axle was damaged, causing an erratic speed signal to the ABS module and setting the light on., FAQ_Q2: When I cut the wheel hard and step on the gas, I hear loud clicking and snapping. What's making that noise?, FAA_A2: The most likely cause is a defective or worn outer CV drive axle joint. It may be time to get it replaced., FAQ_Q3: When I step on the gas, I hear a loud thump and feel a bad vibration. What's wrong?, FAA_A3: The most likely cause is the drive train shifting in the chassis due to a broken engine mount or hardware, causing misalignment of the CV drive axle and causing the inner joint to bind or hang up., FAQ_Q4: I hear a grinding noise from the front end while driving and see grease on the chassis and suspension. What is causing this?, FAA_A4: The most likely problem is the outer CV drive axle boot has ruptured, causing the grease to leak out, allowing contamination (water and dirt) to enter and damage the joint., FAQ_Q5: I removed both CV drive axles at the same time and now I am having problems reinstalling them. What can I do?, FAA_A5: The transaxle gear alignment has been lost. On some vehicles it will be necessary to disassemble the transaxle to properly align the output gears. ALWAYS remove and install one CV drive axle at a time., FAQ_Q6: The old CV Drive Axle has a locking style (prevailing torque) nut. Should I reuse it?, FAA_A6: NO! A prevailing torque lock nut should never be reused. Always discard the old nut and install a new one., FAQ_Q7: The CV Drive Axle outboard joint stub shaft is stuck in the hub assembly. What's the best way to remove it?, FAA_A7: Always use the proper press type t.
