no unless you hear clicking noises from opposite side your turning-- meaning the cv axle is damaged and the axle would have to be pretty bad to cause a driveability problem i rec balancing the tires
how to change a headlight on a 2003 passat
I brought my 2005 VW Passat (46,100 miles) into a VW dealer in Minnesota this morning for an oil change. They called and told me two of my CV boots were leaking and that each would cost $330 to repair for a total of $660. I'll probably find someone else to do the work -- or at least check to see if they really are leaking.
they are a pain in the butt, you have to diconnect the strut mounting bolts on the strut tower and lower control arm, and you will need a 17mm Allen wrench sears carries them good luck
