Parts availability?

[David Ullrich]

Just so others know, the cv driveshafts for the Coupe GT 2.3 are now NLA
from Audi, even as remans. The correct part numbers are:

Left: 855 407 271
Right: 855 407 272

If you see the part numbres followed by a -x that indicates a remanufactured
part. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do at this point...
