Skoda Rapid Spaceback 1.6

The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or clicking noises when cornering. If you notice that the CV boot is split and grease has leaked out, there is a high risk that the shaft or joint will need replacing shortly.

That depends on the damage. If the shaft is otherwise straight and balanced, replacing just the outer or inner CV joint is often sufficient. However, in cases of severe wear or corrosion, a complete drive shaft can be a more cost-effective and long-lasting solution.

No, there are differences depending on the engine variant and gearbox. For the 1.6 model, it is vital to use parts specifically matched to its torque output and dimensions. Always select your exact make, model and engine to ensure you get the correct part.

Our CV joint kits are supplied complete, which typically includes the joint itself, a new CV boot, specialised grease, circlips and mounting hardware to ensure a correct installation.

When you select your exact make, model and engine variant when ordering, we guarantee that the part will fit your car. In the unlikely event that it does not fit, we will help you exchange it for the correct part without any fuss.

We aim for fast dispatch on all stocked items. If you order early on weekdays, your parts are normally dispatched the same day to minimise downtime in the garage.
