Hi everyone,
I am new to your folks forum, so nice to meet you here. I registered to read and learn from what was posted before, but decided to take a chance and ask a question. First of all, I've got a 2008 Golf. I recently noticed that my CV joint boot was damaged badly, and that there is sand and dirt already. I understand that I will have to replace the axle assembly, which is fine with me, as I know that the new boot and grease won't fix the damaged CV joint. So I already got the new axle in, but I heared that I need to get an alignment shim assembly to get the job done properly. So I wanted to ask you folks, as you know these VWs pretty well, do I really need the shim? Or I may just do the swap and it will be fine?
Thank you!
