Car parts and drivetrain components for Ford S MAX.
The most common symptoms are vibrations during acceleration or clicking noises when cornering. If the vibrations can be felt through the steering wheel or chassis when accelerating, it is often the drive shaft or the inner joint that is worn.
Yes, if the drive shaft itself is straight and undamaged, you can save money by replacing only the outer CV joint. We have 4 different outer CV joint models for the Ford S MAX in our range.
Vibrations under acceleration are often caused by wear in the inner CV joint. Because the Ford S MAX is a heavy vehicle, the inner joints are subjected to high loads, which eventually leads to play in the joint housing.
No, drive shafts vary depending on whether you have a diesel or petrol engine, as well as whether the vehicle has a manual or automatic gearbox. Always select your exact make, model and engine to find the right part.
If the boot splits or tears, lubricating grease leaks out and dirt gets in. This causes the CV joint to wear out very quickly. If you catch a damaged boot in time, replacing just the boot may be enough.
Yes, our complete drive shafts are supplied with both inner and outer joints as well as boots fitted and ready for installation, making the replacement quicker and easier.
