cv joints



Also, to do it right, you will want to get the right tool for crimping the
cv boot clamps.  I think I paid about $30 for mine but I'm sure you can get
them cheaper now as most special tools are in every corner auto parts stores
these days.

The triple square is 6mm not 8mm.  Audi and the starter bolts take the 8mm
triple square.
