Frequently Asked Questions about Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class – Drivetrain & Spare Parts
How do I know if my Mercedes GLK needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or unusual noises, such as clicking when cornering. If the vibrations are felt throughout the entire vehicle, it is often the inner CV joint or the shaft itself that is worn.
Do all CV joints fit every GLK model?
No, there are differences depending on the engine variant and whether the vehicle is equipped with 4MATIC. Always filter by your car's make, model and engine to find the exact part for your vehicle.
What is the difference between the inner and outer CV joint on a GLK?
The outer CV joint sits closest to the wheel and accommodates steering movement, whilst the inner joint sits closest to the gearbox and handles the shaft's length adjustments during suspension travel.
Why does my Mercedes GLK vibrate under acceleration?
Vibrations during acceleration are frequently caused by wear in the inner CV joints or an imbalance in the propeller shaft. It is important to inspect these components if the vibrations increase with vehicle speed.
Can I replace just the CV boot instead of the entire CV joint?
Yes, if you catch a split or damaged CV boot early before dirt and moisture have damaged the joint itself, you can replace just the boot and repack it with fresh grease to protect the component.
How many propeller shafts are available for the GLK-Class?
We currently stock 3 different propeller shaft variants to cover the various configurations of the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class.
