Find the right inner CV joint for your MAN TGE, whether front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Our range covers components tailored to all body variants of this...
Maintaining the drivetrain on a MAN TGE is essential for the vehicle's operational reliability and service life. The inner CV joint plays a central role in transferring torque from the gearbox out to the drive shafts. Because the MAN TGE is often used as a working vehicle carrying heavy loads, extremely demanding requirements are placed on these components. A worn inner constant velocity joint can lead to costly consequential damage if not addressed in good time. With us, you will find inner CV joints specifically selected to meet or exceed the requirements of your MAN TGE, whether you run a van, pickup or bus model.
The primary task of the inner CV joint is to enable power transmission between the gearbox and the drive shaft while handling the vertical movements of the vehicle's suspension system. Unlike the outer CV joint, which must accommodate large steering angles, the inner joint is engineered to plunge axially (in and out). This is necessary because the distance between the gearbox and wheel hub changes as the wheels move up and down over road imperfections. On a MAN TGE, this function is especially crucial for maintaining smooth power transfer even when the vehicle is fully laden and the suspension is working at its hardest.
The most typical symptom of a failing inner CV joint is vibration through the vehicle body during acceleration. These vibrations can often be felt in the floor or seat rather than in the steering wheel. If the vibrations stop as soon as you lift off the accelerator, that is a strong indication that the fault lies within the inner joint. Other signs include noises under load or grease leaking from the CV boot. As the MAN TGE is a sturdy commercial vehicle, minor vibrations can sometimes be masked by the sheer size of the vehicle, but it is important to pay close attention to any changes in driving feel to avoid breaking down on the road.
To choose the correct inner CV joint for your MAN TGE, the safest method is to select your vehicle's make, model and engine. The drivetrain can vary depending on whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or equipped with four-wheel drive (4Motion). In addition, different engine variants, such as the common 2.0 TDI units, can feature different spline dimensions and fixings. By using our vehicle selection tool, you ensure that you receive a part with the exact right specifications for your gearbox type and model year. We have deep expertise in MAN drivetrain systems and help you find the right part without guesswork.

When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same vehicle frequently require inspection too. By comparing these exact pages for MAN TGE, it becomes much easier to determine whether the issue stems purely from the inner CV joint or from another nearby component in the power transmission system.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can shift symptoms across several components within the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the correct component type while overlooking an adjacent part that affects the same issue.
When replacing an inner CV joint, it is wise to inspect the rest of the drivetrain simultaneously to ensure optimum performance. Often it can be more economical or practical to service the entire driveshaft assembly. Here are the key related categories for your vehicle:

A faulty outer CV joint usually produces a clicking noise when turning sharply. In contrast, an inner CV joint causes vibrations throughout the vehicle under acceleration, which subside when you lift off the accelerator.
No, it varies depending on whether the van is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, as well as the specific gearbox and engine fitted. Always select your vehicle's make, model and engine to find the correct part.
You can easily replace just the inner CV joint provided the rest of the drive shaft is in good condition. This is often a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the complete shaft.
Wear is typically caused by heavy payloads, high mileage, or a split CV boot that has allowed dirt to enter and grease to escape, which rapidly destroys the joint's internal components.
Yes, our inner CV joints are supplied as complete kits with a CV boot, grease and all necessary fitting hardware to ensure a proper replacement.
