I helped a friend buy a certified 2018 (I think? Maybe 2017) Macan GTS. The good? It really is a fun little coupe, with the six cylinder versions it's quick enough and the handling is great.
I replaced mine (on an Opel Agila) and bought them from SKF. SKF is a very renowned bearing manufacturer so you can't go wrong with that brand if they sell them for your model.
I bought four new SKF CV joints and replaced the trashed originals. A single SKF CV cost about $50. Word of warning though! The supplied bevel washer was not keyed for the splines on the axle shaft. So they would just fall through and didn't stop at the bottom of the spline. Don't throw away the originals and use those instead.
If you don't mind piecing it together, buy new joints and swap them onto your OEM axle shafts. GKN is a good cv joint brand.
OEM CV's are something like 1000x better than aftermarket crap. Have a lowered, engine swapped and turbocharged MK2 VW, and the OEM CV's will put up with this excessive abuse for years and years. Aftermarket CV's didn't make it 50km. Lesson learned.
Tire sensors and CV joints are the most common. This typically happens in the 80-120k timeframe.
My 2022 went till 30,000 then both cv’s went out , warranty replace on both.
I went with Cardone HD CV's, one tore a boot in the first year, so I replaced it with the same. Now the other one has a torn boot. I have about a 1 inch lift, so the CV's arent at an extreme angle. Just not sure why this keeps happening.
Good parts are not cheap and Cardone offering a lifetime warranty just means that you will be replacing this part for a lifetime.
I have used the Cardone ones and they kept falling apart. Like the CV center would pop out and all the balls hit the floor. It came apart while driving like this and would do it in tour hands. Avoid.
