Default A-4 drive shaft replacement

I need feedback on changing out a drive shaft on my daughter's 97 A-4
Quattro... it has a clunking noise when you start off but smoothes out
after. Can this be done fairly easy with a rebuilt shaft assembly?? Thanks
for your advise in advance.

clicking noise is definitely rythmic with speed increase from start... stops
as you go faster etc.

Rob,
Sounds like a CV joint - is it more prevalent in a turn to the left or
right?
Cheers!
