Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for Austin Montego
How do I know if my Austin Montego needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are heavy vibrations under acceleration or persistent noises from underneath the car that do not disappear when cornering. If the vibrations remain despite balanced tyres, the drive shaft is a likely cause.
Can I replace just the CV joint instead of the entire drive shaft?
Yes, if the shaft itself is straight and undamaged, you can save money by replacing only the worn outer or inner CV joint. We offer complete kits for this purpose.
What grease should be used in the CV joints on a Montego?
CV joints require a dedicated molybdenum disulphide grease (MoS2) that withstands high pressure and heat. This grease is almost always included in our complete CV joint kits and CV boot kits.
Do all drive shafts fit every Austin Montego model?
No, there are variations depending on engine size and gearbox type. Always select your car's make, model and engine to ensure you get the correct part for your specific vehicle.
How often should I inspect the boots on my car?
We recommend a visual inspection at every oil service or at least once a year. Catching a split CV boot early can save you the cost of a brand new constant velocity joint.
What is included in a CV joint kit from CVJoint24?
Our kits typically contain the CV joint itself, a model-specific CV boot, high-grade grease, circlips and the necessary clamps for a complete installation.
