Car parts and drivetrain components for Renault Laguna III Grandtour.
The most common signs are vibrations through the car under acceleration or knocking noises from underneath. If the vibrations stop as soon as you let off the throttle, it is often the inner joint of the drive shaft that is worn.
No, CV joints and drive shafts can differ depending on engine size, gearbox type (manual/automatic) and specific chassis setups. Always select your vehicle make, model and engine to find the correct matching part.
This is a classic symptom of a worn outer CV joint. As the internal bearings wear, excessive play develops, producing a rhythmic clicking sound whenever the joint operates at an angle.
It requires the right tools and reasonable mechanical experience. You will need to dismantle parts of the suspension and, in some cases, drain the gearbox oil if the shaft inserts directly into the transmission. We advise consulting a repair manual or using a professional garage if you are unsure.
The CV boot protects the constant velocity joint. If it splits, the grease leaks out and road grit gets in, ruining the joint within just a few tens of kilometres. Replacing a boot promptly saves the expense of an entire new CV joint.
The spline count varies between different versions of the Laguna III. It is therefore essential to check the specifications on the product page or count the teeth on your original part if you are in any doubt.
