Keep the front outer CV joint sealed and greased with the Beck/Arnley CV Joint Boot Kit 103-2989. This application-specific kit is a direct-fit replacement for the front outer position on the 2002-2009 Audi A4, 2002-2009 Audi A4 Quattro, 2006-2010 Audi A6, 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro, 2007-2008 Audi RS4, 2004-2009 Audi S4, 2007-2010 Audi S6, 2007-2009 Audi S8, 2011-2018 Audi TT Quattro, and 2006-2008 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The boot flexes with the axle to hold grease inside the CV joint and keep out road grit, water, and debris. A torn or cracked boot lets grease sling out and contaminants in, which is a common sign this kit may be needed.
Note: this kit is not intended for installation tools that stretch the small end of the boot over the CV joint.
