At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed a CV joint replacement for an Audi Q5, ensuring this luxury SUV maintains its smooth handling and performance. Our experienced technicians performed a thorough inspection to diagnose issues with the CV joints and implemented effective solutions to restore optimal functionality. Here’s a detailed overview of the problems we found and how we addressed them.
Issues Identified and Solutions Provided:
