Car parts and drivetrain components for Citroen C5.
The most common signs are vibrations during acceleration or a clicking noise when turning. If the vibrations can be felt through the entire car, it is often the inner joint or the shaft itself that is causing the issue.
Yes, if the drive shaft itself and the inner joint are in good condition, you can save money by only replacing the outer CV joint. We have 22 different outer CV joints tailored for the Citroën C5.
The Citroën C5 was built with many combinations of engines (petrol/diesel) and gearboxes (manual/automatic). These differences affect the length of the shaft and the number of splines on each end.
When the boot splits, grease leaks out and dirt gets into the joint. This leads to rapid wear and will eventually cause the joint to seize or fail completely, which can prove far more expensive than simply replacing the boot.
The easiest and most reliable way is to select your car's make, model and engine variant in our search filter. This will narrow down our range of 95 parts to the ones that fit your specific vehicle model.
