Car parts and drivetrain components for Mazda 6 Hatchback.
The most common signs are pronounced vibrations during acceleration or a clunking noise from underneath the car. If you notice that the vibrations disappear when you lift off the accelerator, an inner CV joint or the drive shaft itself is often the culprit.
A rhythmic clicking sound at full steering lock is a classic sign of a worn outer CV joint. This is frequently caused by a split CV boot allowing road dirt to enter and grease to escape.
Yes, if your model features a separate ABS ring mounted on the CV joint, this can often be replaced without needing a whole new joint, provided the joint itself remains in good condition.
No, drive shafts vary according to engine size, gearbox type (manual or automatic) and model year. Always select your car's make, model and engine in our vehicle selector to ensure you get the correct part.
Our CV joint kits are normally supplied complete with the CV joint, CV boot, grease, clamps and, where required, a centre axle nut or bolt to ensure a straightforward, correct installation.
A defective drivetrain can cause a sudden loss of drive or even cause a wheel to seize if a joint fails completely. Furthermore, a cracked or damaged ABS ring can disable vital safety systems such as electronic stability control and ABS.
