Car parts and drivetrain components for Mercedes S Class.
Common symptoms include heavy vibrations under acceleration or abnormal noises from the wheel arches. If the vibrations increase with speed and can be felt throughout the car, it is often an indication that a drive shaft is unbalanced or worn.
The outer CV joint sits closest to the wheel and typically causes clicking noises when cornering when worn. The inner CV joint sits closer to the gearbox and usually causes longitudinal vibrations through the car under acceleration.
Vibrations at higher speeds can often be traced back to the propeller shaft or its centre bearing. If the rubber mounting in the centre bearing has perished or cracked, the prop shaft can begin to resonate, creating uncomfortable vibrations in the cabin.
Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt and moisture have damaged the CV joint itself, replacing the CV boot and applying fresh grease is often sufficient. This is a very cost-effective preventative measure.
A cracked or corroded ABS ring sends faulty signals to the wheel speed sensors. This can cause the ABS system to trigger unnecessarily under braking, or illuminate warning lights for the ABS and electronic stability programme (ESP) on the dashboard.
