Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for Citroen 2 CV
How do I know if my Citroen 2 CV needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are vibrations while driving, clicking noises when turning, or visible damage to the shaft. If the CV boot has been split for a long time, there is a high risk that dirt has damaged the joint to the point where the entire drive shaft must be replaced.
Do all drive shafts fit all model years of the 2 CV?
No, there are differences in length and the number of splines depending on the model year and whether the car has inboard disc brakes or drum brakes. Always select your vehicle's make, model, and engine variant in our store to find the correct version.
What is the advantage of replacing the complete drive shaft instead of just the joint?
Replacing the complete drive shaft saves time and ensures that both the inner and outer CV joints are in brand-new condition. It also eliminates the risk of imbalance in the old shaft tube, providing smoother running.
Why do CV boots wear out more frequently on a 2 CV?
The 2 CV has exceptionally long suspension travel, which forces the boots to stretch and flex far more than on other cars. This mechanical strain, combined with the natural ageing of the rubber, makes them a regular wear-and-tear item.
Can I replace a CV joint myself on my Citroen 2 CV?
Yes, with the right tools and a workshop manual, it is entirely feasible for a DIY mechanic. However, it requires meticulous care when cleaning and packing the new grease to ensure long service life.
Are grease and clamps included when I buy a CV joint or CV boot?
Yes, our CV joint kits and CV boot kits are supplied complete with dedicated grease and the necessary fixings so you can carry out the replacement straight out of the box.
