cv joints

Golf M3 1.8. My cv joint gaiters are covered in oil, with abit of resreach i reckon my cv joint(s) have gone down. Does anyone know if the inner joint is likely to have gone down as well as the outer joint. Is it a hard job, im fairly capable with my golf and have all the tools. Any help, galdy accepted, cheers

Hi Just a quick word on the CV gaiters, they are the usual failure with age and fair wear and tear leaking the grease, the actual joints give distinct indication of failure by rumbling when you are are on full lock, left or right depending on which one has worn. I have not heard of the inner cv joints failing. Good luck with the job.
