Peugeot Partner Tepee

The most common symptoms are vibrations during acceleration, strange noises when cornering, or visible grease leaks from the CV boots. If the vibrations increase with road speed, it often indicates an out-of-balance drive shaft.

Yes, if the shaft itself is undamaged and the issue is restricted to the outer joint (often evident from clicking noises while cornering), you can replace just the outer CV joint to save on costs.

No, drive shafts often differ depending on whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox, as well as the engine fitted (e.g. HDi diesel or petrol). Always select your specific vehicle make, model and engine to find the correct fitment.

If the boot is torn, grease escapes and road dirt enters the joint. This causes rapid wear and can, in the worst case, lead to the joint seizing or snapping completely, leaving the vehicle undriveable.

Because the Peugeot Partner Tepee is front-wheel drive, it has two front drive shafts: one on the right-hand side and one on the left-hand side. These are usually different lengths.

It requires appropriate tools and mechanical know-how, not least to undo the hub nut and work with the suspension components. For an experienced DIY mechanic it is entirely feasible, but correct torque tightening is essential.
