Car parts and drivetrain components for Nissan Micra.
The most common signs are heavy vibrations under acceleration or a clunking noise from underneath the car. If you notice a split CV boot and grease has leaked out, there is a strong risk that the shaft or constant velocity joint has also suffered damage.
No, CV joints vary depending on the model year, engine size and gearbox. It is therefore crucial to select your vehicle by make, model and engine to ensure the splines and dimensions match your car precisely.
A common cause is a cracked or heavily corroded ABS ring, preventing the wheel speed sensor from reading the signal accurately. We supply replacement reluctor rings that restore proper function without needing to replace the entire CV joint.
The outer CV joint sits by the wheel hub and accommodates both steering angles and suspension movement, while the inner joint sits by the gearbox and primarily manages suspension travel. Unusual noises when cornering are usually caused by the outer joint.
Yes, if you catch the damage early before dirt and grit have entered the joint, replacing just the boot and repacking it with fresh grease is often sufficient. If the joint has already started clicking or knocking, however, the complete CV joint must be replaced.
We currently stock 24 different drive shafts tailored for Nissan Micra, covering the vast majority of models found on European roads.
