CV Replacement
Hi all,
Car: 2008 Impreza WRX STi
Issue #1: Setting off and turning from full lock to center causes the 'juddering', 'skipping' etc from the rear
Issue #2: Crawling round corners on near to full lock causes the front wheels to 'skip', 'hop'
Issue #3: Reversing on near to full lock causes the front wheels to 'skip', 'hop'
I am no expert but my assumption would be Gearbox/Diff/CV related.
I am wanting to replace all four CV axles. The very beginner question i'm here to ask, are the front and rear CV axles the same?
I've been able to find front axles for sale on websites such as:
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/nty/14676864
However, i'm not able to find rears.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the replies both, never used AutoDoc myself so that's very handy to know. I will look elsewhere for alternative options before committing to them.
The car does have quite a few mods. However, the drive train section to my knowledge is completely stock. I was going to replace gearbox and diff fluid when changing all CVs. Then proceed to cry if the issues still remain.
If I were to just replace the fluid would I be looking for excessive metal filings etc as a 'sign of issue'?
Many thanks

Thanks again Stig, any recommendations on high performance gearbox/diff oil?
DCCD has always been set to Auto, it's not something I fully understand so I made the executive decision to leave it alone.
