Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an outer CV joint?
No. This listing is the inner tripod joint and boot kit.
Will it fit Polo Vivo?
It is listed for Polo Classic/Playa 6N/6KV and the classic Golf/Citi Golf range — not a general Vivo listing.
Should I replace both sides?
Replace the failed side at minimum. Many workshops renew both inners when mileage is high — confirm with your mechanic.
Need Help?
Send year, model, chassis code and which side needs repair for a fitment check.
