Cv Joint bolts loosening
Got a small prob with the bolts holding the CV joints in constantly working loose.
I've been lock tighting them and tightening as far as I dare- still coming undone.
The axles seem to be the right length ( I guess) as at rest i can moove them back and forth by about 5mm.
The bolts themselves are aftermarket ( not genuine VW) Is this the problem?

Do you have the little wavy washers under the heads of the bolts?

You also MUST have the bridge plates under the serated washers.
