Car parts and drivetrain components for Ford Transit.
The most common signs of a worn propeller shaft are vibrations felt throughout the vehicle, particularly at speeds between 50 and 80 km/h. You might also hear a clunking noise when changing gear or easing off the accelerator, which is often caused by worn universal joints or centre bearings.
No, drive shafts vary depending on whether your Transit is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, as well as its engine and gearbox configuration. It is therefore crucial to select your vehicle's correct make, model and engine variant to find the exact drive shaft for your Ford Transit.
A common cause is a cracked or heavily corroded ABS ring that prevents the sensor from reading the signal accurately. This is a frequent issue on the Ford Transit and is usually resolved by replacing the faulty ABS reluctor ring.
The outer CV joint is located closest to the wheel and accommodates steering angles; when worn, it typically produces a clicking sound while turning. The inner CV joint sits closer to the gearbox and primarily moves in and out during suspension travel; wear here usually causes vibrations under acceleration.
Yes, if you catch a split CV boot early before road dirt and moisture have damaged the joint itself, you can replace just the boot. However, if the joint has already started making noise, the entire constant velocity joint must be replaced.
We recommend a visual inspection at every service or oil change. Check carefully that all CV boots are intact and that there is no play in the prop shaft universal joints, especially since a Transit frequently carries heavy loads.
Our parts are carefully selected to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, meaning they are engineered to cope with the heavy payloads and demanding work expected of a Ford Transit.
