Hey

ive just fitted VW racing springs to my 2010 S3. Everything went back together OK but when i fixed up the gearbox side and spun the wheel i noticed the driveshaft gator spun with the shaft. Musta popped when getting strut out.

took the shaft out at the gearbox and re-aligned the shaft. Placed it back into the gearbox and did everything up (whole shaft spun with the wheel not just gator) but it fell back out again when i tried to drive the car forward and backwards.

new driveshaft? cv boot popped out at gearbox end and needs re-done? it keeps falling out?

next time ill get garage to do front suspension stuff.
 
well im pretty sure the inner cv joint is kaput new driveshaft time. very strange got it back in but kept popping out so internals must be loose
