Spare parts and drivetrain components for Ford C MAX.
The drivetrain in a Ford C MAX is a central mechanical system responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels. As a popular family car, there are high demands for power delivery to remain smooth and efficient in order to maintain both comfort and fuel economy. Maintaining the drivetrain is vital for the car's longevity, as worn components can lead to consequential damage to both the gearbox and suspension. At CVJoint24, we are specialists in drivetrain components and understand the specific needs of Ford C MAX owners. With our comprehensive range, we ensure you receive parts that match or exceed original equipment quality, giving you complete peace of mind for every kilometre you drive.
The Ford C MAX uses a front-wheel-drive configuration with a transversely mounted engine. Power flows from the engine through the gearbox and is then distributed to the front wheels via two drive shafts. Each Ford C MAX drive shaft is fitted with two joints: an inner CV joint mounted against the gearbox and an outer CV joint situated at the wheel hub. This design allows the front wheels to drive the car forward, absorb suspension movement, and steer simultaneously. It is a complex system where every part must work in perfect harmony. Lubrication inside the joints is protected by flexible rubber CV boots that retain grease and keep dirt out, which is critical to avoid premature wear on the moving parts.
There are several clear signs that the drivetrain on your Ford C MAX is wearing out. One of the most common symptoms is a clicking or knocking noise when turning on full lock at low speeds, which usually indicates that an outer CV joint on your Ford C MAX is defective. If you instead experience vibrations through the steering wheel or the car's chassis under acceleration, it may be a sign of play in an inner CV joint. It is also essential to inspect the CV boots regularly; if a boot splits, grease leaks out and abrasive road grime enters, quickly destroying the constant velocity joint. If you notice greasy residue on the inside of the wheel rim, act immediately to avoid a more costly drive shaft replacement.
Depending on driving style and mileage, various driveline parts may need replacing. In our catalogue for the Ford C MAX, we currently stock 19 different drive shafts, 7 outer CV joints, and 1 inner CV joint. Selecting the correct component is crucial for proper fitment. It is often most economical to replace an entire drive shaft assembly if multiple components are worn, whereas minor damage may only call for an individual joint or just a replacement boot.

The most common signs are heavy vibrations under acceleration or knocking noises when turning. If you notice a torn CV boot and find metal shavings in the grease, it is usually time for a replacement.
The outer CV joint sits at the wheel and accommodates steering angles, whilst the inner joint sits at the gearbox and absorbs changes in shaft length as the suspension moves.
Yes, if you catch the damage early before dirt and grit have entered the joint, replacing just the CV boot and repacking it with fresh grease may be sufficient.
No, dimensions vary depending on engine size, transmission type (manual/automatic), and production year. Always select your vehicle make, model, and engine variant to ensure you receive the correct part.
This is a classic symptom of a worn inner CV joint. Excessive play within the joint causes an imbalance that is felt most prominently under engine load.
