Inner CV joints for TVR Tamora
The TVR Tamora is a machine engineered for sheer driving pleasure and mechanical feedback, where every drivetrain component plays a vital role in transferring power from the potent Speed Six engine to the tarmac. The inner CV joint is a critical element in this setup, especially on a rear-wheel-drive sports car where operating angles and loads change dramatically under hard acceleration and spirited driving. Maintaining the drivetrain on a TVR Tamora demands components that not only fit physically, but can also withstand the high torque and stresses generated by a lightweight, high-output performance car. We provide replacement solutions specifically chosen to preserve your car's original dynamics and safety, ensuring you maintain the authentic driving experience TVR intended.
What does the inner CV joint do on a TVR Tamora?
The inner CV joint's primary function is to transfer drive smoothly from the gearbox or differential to the drive shaft, while allowing for the axial plunge needed as the rear suspension articulates. Unlike an outer CV joint, which primarily accommodates steering angles, the inner constant velocity joint absorbs changes in distance between the wheel hub and the chassis-mounted differential. On a sports car like the Tamora, with its sophisticated independent suspension, it is essential that this sliding movement happens smoothly and without resistance. A properly functioning inner joint prevents drivetrain power losses and shields adjacent components from premature wear and stress caused by suspension travel.
Common signs of wear
When an inner constant velocity joint begins to fail on a TVR Tamora, it typically produces distinct vibrations that compromise the car's handling. Unlike an outer joint, which usually clicks loudly on full steering lock, a worn inner joint produces noticeable body shudder under load. These vibrations are usually felt through the floorpan or seat during acceleration, easing off or vanishing completely as soon as you lift off the throttle. Another clear warning sign is a split CV boot, which allows essential grease to escape and lets road grit contaminate the precision internal bearings. Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to secondary damage to the drive shaft and differential output bearings, resulting in significantly more expensive workshop repairs.
Choosing the correct inner CV joint
Selecting the correct Inner CV joints for TVR requires careful technical verification. Because TVR frequently adapted components from different suppliers throughout vehicle production runs, specifications can vary even within the same model year. The most reliable way to find the right part is to filter by your car's make, model and engine version on our website. We also advise counting the internal and external spline teeth on your original joint and measuring the flange mounting diameter before ordering. Comparing your car's physical measurements with our technical specifications ensures a trouble-free installation and optimal drivetrain geometry.
Related components to inspect
We recommend checking these matching categories for the same vehicle when working on your inner CV joints:
When a driveline component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same vehicle should be inspected as well. Comparing these exact pages for the TVR Tamora helps determine whether an issue stems from the inner joint itself or an adjacent drivetrain component.
This is especially important on performance cars where vibrations, play and unwanted noises can travel between linked components. Checking related categories helps ensure you resolve the root cause rather than replacing an isolated part.

Frequently asked questions about inner CV joints for TVR Tamora
How do I know whether it is the inner or outer CV joint that is failing on my TVR Tamora?
A faulty inner CV joint usually causes vibrations through the entire car during acceleration, whereas an outer CV joint typically produces a clicking or knocking noise when taking sharp turns at low speed.
Can I replace just the CV boot if the inner joint seems undamaged?
Yes, if you catch a split CV boot early before dirt has entered or the grease has completely escaped, replacing the boot and repacking it with fresh grease can often save the joint.
Why does my TVR Tamora vibrate under acceleration but not when coasting?
This is a classic symptom of a worn inner CV joint. When the joint is placed under load during acceleration, play in the worn tracks creates an imbalance, producing vibrations that disappear as soon as you lift off the throttle.
Is it difficult to replace an inner CV joint yourself on a Tamora?
It requires solid mechanical experience and the correct tools, as the drive shaft often needs to be removed completely. It is well within reach for a competent DIY mechanic, but cleanliness and correct torque settings are essential.
Are grease and clamps included when I buy an inner CV joint from you?
Yes, our inner CV joints are supplied as complete kits containing the joint itself, a vehicle-specific CV boot, high-quality CV joint grease and all necessary retaining clamps.
How quickly can my spare part be delivered?
We aim for next-day dispatch on all in-stock items, helping you get your TVR Tamora back on the road as quickly as possible.
