Hey guys. I have uno problemo.
Lately, my little A2 started making a very worrying clunking noise from the front left wheel. I can hear it when going over speed bump and pot holes. I don`t hear it when driving (acc/decelerating). I thought it might be a bushing or drop link.
I went to the doctor and he said it`s the cv joint and that everything else is OK. I ordered outer CV joints (wheel side) at his advice. I bought the cheapest ones as he said that they may not fix the problem entirely. He suggested that new drive shafts might be needed if this fails.
He showed me the problem while the car was up on the car lift, and I found a video with the exact same problem as mine.

Did any of you encounter this problem? Will the outer CV joints fix anything? Because it's the Inner ones that clunk.
Just fyi, my A2 is a 2004 1.4tdi 75hp.
