HI All,

I recently had to replace the inner and out CV boots for the passenger side axle. I bought the proper kits (GKN) and installed the boots and regreased everything. The first time it happened I had only driven about 50 miles and I figured maybe I didn't seat the CV properly. The second time it happened I went about 100 miles before the CV popped off again, stranding me 50 miles from home. I made sure to replace the circlip and watched as I seated it before reinstalling. Any thoughts about what I may have missed or done wrong? I've done so many of these on Golf, Passats and my A4 without issue. What I did notice is that there is only a circlip on the A8 shaft while on the past ones I've done there was a spring washer and a plastic piece that were installed along with the circlip. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,

Ron
