Car parts and drivetrain components for Skoda Fabia 1.6. Always check the fit before ordering.
If vibrations persist despite replacing the joint, or if the shaft itself is bent or heavily corroded at the contact surfaces, the complete drive shaft should be replaced. For the DIY mechanic, fitting a complete driveshaft is often much simpler.
No, the length usually differs between the right and left drive shaft due to the position of the gearbox. Always check the specifications for each side before ordering.
You generally need a heavy-duty socket for the hub nut, a puller or hammer to release the joint, and specialised pliers to secure the new CV boot clamps.
Yes, our CV joints are supplied as complete kits containing the joint, CV boot, specialist grease, circlips, and fitting hardware to ensure a correct installation.
We recommend a visual inspection of the CV boots at every service or tyre change. An intact boot is the best protection against costly constant velocity joint failure.
When the boot splits, grease escapes and dirt enters. This causes extremely rapid wear and can, in the worst case, cause the joint to seize completely, posing a serious safety hazard.
