No, drive shafts vary depending on the engine (e.g. diesel or petrol), gearbox type and model year. Always select your vehicle's exact make, model and engine variant to find the correct part.
A common cause is that the ABS ring on the drive shaft has cracked or corroded, causing the sensor to lose its signal. We supply replacement ABS reluctor rings that solve this issue without needing to replace the complete shaft.
The outer CV joint is fitted at the wheel and allows for steering movement, while the inner joint sits at the gearbox and accommodates suspension travel. A clicking noise when turning corners usually points to a worn outer joint.

Yes, our drive shafts are normally supplied fully assembled with both inner and outer joints as well as fitted CV boots, ready for direct installation.
