Car parts and drivetrain components for Mini Cooper.
The most common sign is a clicking noise coming from the front wheels when you make sharp turns at low speed. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, it is almost certainly a worn outer CV joint.
Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt and grit have entered to damage the joint itself, replacing the CV boot and repacking it with fresh grease may suffice. If the constant velocity joint has already begun to make noise, however, the complete joint must be replaced.
No, there are differences in spline counts and dimensions depending on engine size and model year. Always select your car's make, model and engine to find the exact replacement part for your vehicle.
Vibrations under load are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints or an imbalance in the drive shaft itself. It is important to inspect these components if the vibrations occur specifically when accelerating.
We supply parts manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. As driveline specialists, we only select components from manufacturers that guarantee outstanding durability and a precise fit.
Our outer CV joints are normally supplied as complete kits containing the joint itself, CV boot, grease, clamps, and any necessary circlip or bolt—everything required for a professional replacement.
