Inner CV joints for Hyundai I20
Maintaining the drivetrain of your Hyundai I20 is essential for preserving the car's reliability and driving pleasure. The inner CV joint plays a pivotal role in transferring power from the gearbox to the wheels, and although the Hyundai I20 is renowned for its reliability, these components are subjected to constant mechanical stress. When an inner CV joint begins to fail, it can detract significantly from the entire driving experience. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these exact components to offer you, as a Hyundai I20 owner, the best possible replacement parts that match original specifications perfectly.
Our range is carefully selected to cover the various generations of this popular small hatchback. Whether you drive an early model or a later edition, precision fitment is our highest priority. By choosing the right spare part, you minimise the risk of consequential damage to other areas of the transmission. We understand the importance of getting the right part first time, which is why our database is optimised to give you accurate results based on your vehicle's specific attributes.
What does the inner CV joint do on a Hyundai I20?
The inner CV joint on a Hyundai I20 is mounted closest to the gearbox and serves a specific technical purpose distinct from that of the outer joint. While the outer CV joint primarily accommodates steering angles, the main role of the inner CV joint is to allow the drive shaft to plunge in and out longitudinally. This flexibility is vital because the distance between the gearbox and the wheel hub changes as the car's suspension moves up and down over the road surface. Without this movement, the drive shaft would snap over the first bump you hit.
The design of an inner constant velocity joint is commonly a tripod or plunging design, which ensures smooth and compliant power transfer even under load. For your Hyundai I20, a properly functioning inner joint means engine torque is delivered efficiently without energy loss or irritating vibrations. It is a sophisticated component that requires continuous lubrication with specialised grease, sealed inside a protective rubber CV boot. If this boot splits, the internal moving parts are exposed to road dirt and moisture, which quickly leads to failure.
Common signs of wear
The most typical symptom of a worn inner CV joint on a Hyundai I20 is vibration under acceleration. Unlike an outer CV joint, which typically clicks on full steering lock, faults in the inner joint become apparent when the engine is under load. You may feel the entire car shudder or vibrate, particularly between 50 and 90 km/h. These vibrations often vanish the moment you lift off the accelerator, which strongly points to wear within the inner joint's raceways or tripod bearings.
Another telltale sign to look out for is grease splattered across the underside of the car or around the gearbox casing. If the boot has split, centrifugal force flings the grease outward, leaving the joint dry and unprotected. A clunking sound when shifting gears or when alternating between engine braking and throttle application can also indicate excessive play in the inner joint. Ignoring these warning signs can cause the vibrations to worsen and may ultimately damage the gearbox output seals or bearings.
How to choose the correct inner CV joint
Selecting the correct inner CV joint for your Hyundai I20 requires care, as variations exist depending on engine variant, gearbox type (manual or automatic) and model year. The most critical detail to verify is the spline count—the small splined teeth on the shaft—both on the side inserting into the gearbox and on the side connecting to the drive shaft itself. The diameter of the oil seal surface can also vary across different versions of the Hyundai I20.
To make the selection process as straightforward and dependable as possible, we always recommend filtering our catalogue by selecting your car's make, model and engine. Specifying these details narrows down our range so you only see the parts compatible with your specific car. This eliminates guesswork and ensures you receive a component with the correct dimensions and technical specifications. If you are unsure whether you need to replace only the joint or the complete driveshaft, you can consult our detailed product specifications, where we clearly state measurements and technical data for every item.
Related parts to check
It is also well worth inspecting these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the inner CV joint:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car frequently warrant inspection too. By comparing these dedicated pages for the Hyundai I20, it becomes much easier to determine whether the issue lies specifically with the inner CV joint or with an adjacent part of the transmission.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unwanted noises can travel between several drivetrain components. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of component while overlooking a neighbouring part that contributes to the very same problem.
By checking these related parts, you ensure your Hyundai I20 remains in peak mechanical condition and that your new inner CV joint operates under optimal conditions, free from premature stress caused by other worn components.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inner CV Joints for Hyundai I20
What are the most common symptoms of a worn inner CV joint on a Hyundai I20?
The most common signs are pronounced vibrations through the car under acceleration, typically between 50 and 90 km/h. These vibrations usually disappear when you lift off the accelerator. You might also spot grease leaking around the gearbox if the CV boot is split.
Can I replace just the inner CV joint, or do I need to buy a complete drive shaft?
On most Hyundai I20 models, you can easily replace just the inner CV joint. This is often a much more cost-effective option than replacing the complete drive shaft, provided the shaft itself is not bent or damaged.
How do I make sure I choose the correct inner CV joint for my I20?
The most reliable way is to select your car's make, model and engine variant in our search filter. This finds the exact matching part based on your car's engine, gearbox and model year. For added certainty, check the spline count specified in the product description.
Why does my Hyundai I20 vibrate under acceleration but not when cruising?
This is a classic symptom of wear in the inner CV joint's tripod or housing tracks. Under acceleration, the joint comes under load; if there is pitting or wear in the tracks, it creates an imbalance that is felt as vibration throughout the bodywork.
Are the CV boot and grease included when I buy an inner CV joint from you?
Yes, our inner CV joints are supplied as complete kits. This means you receive the joint itself, a model-specific CV boot, high-quality CV joint grease, and all the necessary clips and circlips required for installation.
Is it difficult to replace the inner CV joint myself on a Hyundai I20?
It requires a moderate amount of mechanical experience and the right tools, as the drive shaft must be removed from the gearbox. If you are unsure, we recommend consulting a professional garage, but for an experienced DIY mechanic, it is a perfectly manageable job.
