Hello to all of you,

 

My father's Favorit is again sticking its nose into my wallet. RHS driveshaft (the longer one) got bent somehow and I decided to replace both the driveshaft rod and the outer CV joint, inner one looks good.

 

The only issue that I have now is to pick a CV joint, and the options are: 

• AQ
• BGA
• GSP
• FAG
• LPR
• COMLINE
• METELLI
• MEYLE
• SKF

Please advice which one do you recommend, thanks!

Are we talking about part no 6U0407272F 
If yes I suggest this https://www.autodoc.gr/skf/14896
or this https://www.autodoc.gr/metelli/7724260
but remember that you can speak with me directly to source you an original one which is still available

AQ is unknow
BGA garbage
GSP Non removable cv joints
FAG Schaeffler group used to be good now its mid to low tier

LPR is mid

COMLINE is mid

METELLI is very good made in Italy still, very well taken care of parts

SKF still on top although quality has decreased over the years.

If you could source SPIDAN which is the OEM manufacturer that would be great
Still, if you want an OE I can supply you with one for more details only using pm because of possible server hostility.

I was interested in 6U0 498 099.

 

Thank you very much for your input. I have an option to buy Spidan CV joint but it's very expensive (around 60 euros). Since my father plans to drive this car only for a few more years I'll probably go for Metelli or SKF, Spidan would be an overkill.

if so just go for SKF although it all depends on the relative price

I still can supply you with an original part if you so wish to keep a very rare car on the road the proper way

Well I posted that I want to find only a CV joint, I already have a driveshaft rod from a donor car. 

 

BTW, thank you for the offer, but I managed to find Spidan CV joint for around 40 euros (SKF would cost as much).

That's a price I can't beat and a part as close to original as it gets GREAT CHOICE
