OE 171498103B — CV Joint for Audi

Aftermarket cv joint comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

OEM means the part was produced for the vehicle maker's assembly line; aftermarket means it is made independently to the same engineering drawing. For a cv joint the practical gap is usually tooling age and packaging rather than fit, provided the tolerance class matches.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded cv joint transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full suspension, steering & brake rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.

Every shipment of 171498103B leaves with a packing list, photo documentation and a QC report. Warranty terms are agreed per contract and reference that inspection record; claims are settled in writing against the documentation.

A supersession happens when the maker revises a cv joint and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit.
