[Vwdiesel] CV joint question

[James Hansen]

I've had that happen when they are getting just a bit dry.  If you would
take them apart and regrease them they would be fine most likely. 
It's interesting to see how little grease they actually use now.

Subject: [Vwdiesel] CV joint question

I have a 2002 TDI Jetta which is new to me with 165K.  The CV joints clack
when it is backing up, but not going forward.  Furthermore, I cannot detect
them clacking when downshifting, using the engine to break.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I figure I'll probably replace both half-shafts, but was curious about
others' experiences.

Thanks.
