CV's Worn?

[Dale McCormack]

Derrick,
I've had CV's (w/over 100K) tear their boots, then before they're making
noise I've replaced the boots/repacked w/grease, and have them soldier
on for thousands more quiet miles.  In fact, I don't _ever_ recall
replacing a CV after several hundred thousands of Audi miles.  However,
tie rod ends often wear out and make a "full lock clunk", but no noise
when spinning the wheels when the cars suspended.  If they're bad, don't
pay more than $30 each from *AutoZone*; dealers want $93 here.

HTH
