(It also helps if you don't drive the car in the mud, and if you remove the old grease and re-apply some new to the bearing every once in a while.)

    Also, the forum board seems to mess up the link in my previous post for some reason. So, here it is, in plain text: VW Touareg Drive Shaft
    Thanks for link

    I had a bit of drive in the 3.0 today, pulls nice better then 2.5, needed new pads at least, to me should had disk replaced is well due to large lip, found that small rod from swirl motor to flaps in center arm rest, so sort of alarm bells rung, oil leak but couldn't see where is coming from it was on left front as you sit in car, anyway he wouldn't budge on price from 5.5k with 125kon clock so I walk away from it.

    Just a question on test drive everytime the car hit pot hole or whent over uneven surface just didn't feel right like it swayed, but no rattles or anything is this normal to them?

    If it has standard (spring) suspension, then most likely the spring has worn out, or the oil has escaped from the shock absorber. If it has air suspension, there might be something more serious at play with the frame or undercarriage. Have you looked for uneven wear on the tires? If it has air suspension, have you tried changing the ride height?

    Std suspension, you might be right with worn shocks, had similar feeling on one of my other cars long time ago and found rear shocks was blown.

    Feel better that I walk away now. Looks like that car could have been money pit from start.
