You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Audi's recommendations.

Your Audi R8 may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
