How low is your car?
5 speed?
Inner or outer CV?
What year, that makes a different in the axles as well?
What brand of axles/CV's?

pretty low lol 5 speed mk4 gti 2003 the first one came on car that was recently changed by owner before i purchased then had autoworks do one then i did one pretty sure they were all generic brands which i heard were no good and they have proven that but oem is $500 and if height is the issue no point in buying oem anyways

I would personally but a generic one and modify the inner cup by shaving it down. The 2003's should have the tripod style inner CV joint, at least my 2003 did (auto) and then it shouldn't bind at all if you modify it properly.

Top notch axles they work well under power and low and don't bind lol,
Little more costly then parts store ones but actually last and have warranty

So your inner boots are leaking? Are they tearing or what?
