Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for Smart Crossblade
Does the drive shaft fit all Smart Crossblade models?
Yes, the drive shafts we list for the Smart Crossblade are specifically selected to fit the model's unique chassis. We always recommend checking your car's make, model and engine to ensure 100% compatibility.
Why does the ABS ring fail on my Smart?
The ABS ring on Smart models is frequently exposed to corrosion. As rust builds up underneath the ring, it expands and eventually cracks, preventing the ABS sensor from reading the wheel speed correctly.
Can I replace just the CV joint or do I have to replace the complete shaft?
On the Smart Crossblade, it is often most practical to replace the complete drive shaft if the joints are worn, as this ensures all components are brand new and balanced; however, we also offer individual components where possible.
How do I know whether the inner or outer CV joint is failing?
Outer CV joints typically produce a clicking noise when cornering, whereas inner CV joints tend to cause vibrations throughout the car under acceleration.
Is it difficult to replace a drive shaft on a Smart Crossblade?
Because the car is so compact, working space is limited, but for a DIY mechanic with workshop experience it is a perfectly manageable job. However, it does require the correct tools to undo the hub nut and detach the shaft from the gearbox.
Are CV boots included when I buy a drive shaft?
Yes, when you purchase a complete drive shaft from us, it always includes pre-fitted CV boots, grease and the necessary mounting hardware so you can carry out the replacement straight away.
