The Peugeot 308 is a popular car that demands precision when it comes to drivetrain replacement car parts. The inner CV joint is a component often overlooked in favour of the outer joint, yet its role is just as vital for a vibration-free driving experience. We stock a curated selection of inner CV joints engineered specifically for the various generations of the Peugeot 308. Whether you drive a petrol or diesel variant, it is essential that the component matches the gearbox output shaft and the dimensions of the drive shaft. By focusing on quality, we ensure engine power reaches the wheels without loss of energy or unwanted noises. With 8 specific products in our range for this model, we offer solutions that meet or exceed original equipment specifications.
The primary task of an inner CV joint on a Peugeot 308 is to allow the driveshaft to plunge plunge along its length whilst transferring torque from the gearbox. Unlike the outer constant velocity joint, which accommodates steering angles, the inner joint accommodates suspension travel. When driving over uneven road surfaces, the distance between the gearbox and the wheel hub changes continuously; here, the inner joint acts as a telescopic link, often known as a plunging joint. If this mechanism binds or develops play, overall vehicle stability and ride comfort suffer immediately. It is a precision-engineered component operating under constant load that requires specialised grease to minimise friction and heat build-up, ensuring a long service life.
How can you tell when it is time to replace the inner CV joint on your Peugeot 308? The most telltale symptom is vibration occurring under acceleration. Unlike wheel imbalance, which is typically felt through the steering wheel at set speeds regardless of engine load, worn inner joints produce a shudder through the car's body when putting power down. Another warning sign is a clunking noise when accelerating or decelerating on engine braking. A split CV boot allows essential grease to escape and lets road dirt in, quickly ruining internal rollers or balls. Ignoring these warning signs can result in secondary damage to gearbox seals or the drive shaft itself, leading to significantly more costly garage repairs.
Selecting the right inner CV joint for your Peugeot 308 can be tricky, as dimensions vary by engine size, gearbox type, and model year. Differences include the spline counts on both the gearbox side and drive shaft side, along with the overall joint diameter. To guarantee a perfect fit first time, filter our catalogue by your vehicle's exact make, model, and engine variant. It is also wise to check the dimensions when possible, as Peugeot sourced parts from different OE suppliers during the same production year. Sourcing the right spare parts straight away saves time and money during installation, and our fitment guarantee gives you full confidence when ordering online.
We recommend checking these exact pages for your vehicle when replacing an inner CV joint:
When a drivetrain part develops wear, adjacent components often need inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Peugeot 308 helps determine whether an issue stems solely from the inner constant velocity joint or from another nearby component in the driveline.
This is especially important on models where vibrations, play, and noises can travel between different drivetrain parts. A quick look at related categories ensures you don't fit a new part while missing another worn component that causes the same symptom.
Inspecting the complete assembly from the gearbox to the wheel hub ensures a lasting repair and avoids taking the drivetrain apart several times. Replacing a worn CV boot or an ABS ring preventatively is always a sound investment.

The most common symptom is body vibration during acceleration, which often stops as soon as you lift off the accelerator. This differs from wheel imbalance, which is typically felt constantly through the steering wheel.
On most Peugeot 308 models, you can easily replace just the inner CV joint on its own, provided the drive shaft itself is not bent or damaged.
The best method is to select your Peugeot 308 model, year and engine variant on our site. If multiple options are listed for your specific model, you may need to count the splines on your old part before ordering.
Yes, our inner CV joints are supplied as complete kits including a CV boot, specialised grease, and the necessary fitting accessories such as clips and circlips.
If the vibrations persist after wheel balancing, and especially if they appear under acceleration or engine load, a worn inner CV joint is a very likely cause.
Yes, there are often differences in both the spline count and the overall dimensions between manual and automatic transmissions on the Peugeot 308. Always check the product specifications carefully.
