Beware that on 87 Coupes with disk breaks in rear it is impossible to get a
separate CV joint. One must purchase whole axle from Audi for $650.00 . Lobro
doesn't sell them at all. Not axles, not even separate joints. The only
alternative is scrap yard. It is also the best laternative. The best thing is not
to leave damaged boot on for too long so that old joints last longer.
