Car parts and drivetrain components for Renault.
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration, noises when driving in a straight line, or severe steering wheel vibrations. If you notice oil or grease leaking from the CV boots, this is also a clear sign that the shaft or joint may be damaged.
No, it varies depending on the generation, engine type, and whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox. It is important to check the number of splines (teeth) and whether the car has an ABS ring fitted to the joint.
The outer CV joint sits at the wheel hub and allows for steering; when worn, it typically produces a clicking sound when cornering. The inner CV joint sits at the gearbox and accommodates changes in length; a worn inner joint usually causes vibrations during acceleration.
A very common cause on Renault vehicles is that the ABS ring on the CV joint has cracked or become so corroded that the sensor cannot read the signal properly. We supply separate ABS rings, which can often replace the broken ring without having to replace the entire CV joint.
No, propeller shafts are primarily found on rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive models such as the Renault Master, Koleos, or Kadjar. Most Renault passenger cars are front-wheel drive and use drive shafts only.
