Outer CV Joint, Checking: Checking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi S4, 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2016 Audi A4, 2015 Audi S4, and 2015 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Checking

The balls of each joint belong to one tolerance group. Check stub axle, hub, cage and balls for small depressions (pitting build-up) and chafing. Excessive circumferential backlash in joint makes itself noticed via tip-in shock, in such cases joint should be replaced. Flattening and running marks of balls are no reason to replace joint.

Assembling

-- Insert cage with hub into joint body.

NOTE:

Cage must be installed laterally correct.

-- Press in opposing balls in sequence, during this, previous position of ball hub to ball cage and to joint body must be established again.

-- Press the grease into the joint body. Refer to Grease Quantity and Type .
