Spare parts and drivetrain components for the Suzuki Baleno.
The drivetrain on a Suzuki Baleno is a critical assembly responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels efficiently. As a compact and dependable car, the Baleno relies on these components being in sound mechanical condition to preserve both fuel economy and ride comfort. At CVJoint24, you will find a carefully selected range tailored specifically to this model, whether you drive the classic hatchback or the estate version. We focus on quality and durability, which is essential for preventing costly consequential damage to the gearbox or suspension. By choosing the correct parts from a specialist, you ensure that your vehicle retains its original driving characteristics for many miles to come.
The Suzuki Baleno uses a classic front-wheel-drive configuration where power travels from the engine via the gearbox out to the front wheels through two drive shafts. Central to this system are the drive shafts, which consist of an inner and outer CV joint protected by rubber boots packed with specialised grease. The inner joint absorbs the axial plunge that occurs as the suspension travels, whilst the outer constant velocity joint enables steering and handles large angular changes through turns. In addition, the ABS ring is often fitted directly onto the outer joint to provide accurate wheel speed signals to the car's safety systems. This design is compact and efficient, yet it faces heavy demands from weather, road salt, and mechanical wear, making regular inspections of the boots and joints essential to prevent failure.
There are several distinct signs that the drivetrain on your Suzuki Baleno is wearing out and requires attention. One of the most typical symptoms is a clicking or knocking sound on full steering lock during acceleration, which almost always indicates a defective outer CV joint. If you instead notice steering-wheel vibrations or that the entire car shakes under acceleration, it may point to an imbalance or internal wear in a driveshaft. Another frequent issue on older models is the ABS warning light illuminating without warning, often caused by a cracked or corroded ABS ring feeding faulty signals to the sensor. Ignoring these warning signs can result in complete failure and total loss of drive, which can be costly and dangerous whilst driving.
Based on our experience and parts data, there are primarily three categories of components sought after for the Suzuki Baleno to restore drivetrain performance. We currently stock a comprehensive range of 26 specific items covering most requirements for this model series. Here are the most frequently requested categories for the Suzuki Baleno:
By replacing worn components promptly, you extend the service life of the entire driveline and prevent unnecessary damage to surrounding parts such as wheel bearings and gearbox seals.

On a vehicle with several possible driveline issues, it is best to start directly in the appropriate category. Comparing the exact component sections for the Suzuki Baleno makes it easier to tell whether the fault lies in a drive shaft, constant velocity joint, or prop shaft, allowing you to navigate straight to the page that best matches your symptoms and fitment requirements.
Locating the correct spare part for a Suzuki Baleno can sometimes be challenging due to technical differences across engine sizes, gearbox types, and specific production years. The most reliable way to find the exact match for your car is to select your vehicle's make, model, and engine in our shop. This automatically filters out unsuitable parts, eliminating the risk of ordering errors and saving valuable time during installation. If you are unsure about technical specifications, such as the tooth count on an ABS ring or the overall length of a drive shaft, detailed technical dimensions are provided for every product. Our aim is to ensure you feel entirely confident that the part you order will fit your car perfectly without any modification.

The most common signs are vibrations through the car under acceleration or distinct unusual noises. If the vibrations stop when you release the throttle, it is often the inner joint on the drive shaft that is worn.
It depends on the extent of the damage. If only the outer joint clicks when cornering, you can replace just that. If the shaft is bent or both joints are worn, it is often more cost-effective and easier to replace the complete drive shaft.
A very common fault on the Baleno is that the ABS ring on the drive shaft corrodes and cracks. This causes the sensor to receive incorrect readings, triggering the warning light. We supply individual ABS rings that are straightforward to replace.
No, there are differences depending on the engine (such as 1.3, 1.6, or 1.8) and whether the car is equipped with ABS. Always select your car's make, model and engine on our website to find the correct specification.
If the boot splits, the grease leaks out and dirt gets into the joint. This will cause the CV joint to wear out very quickly. Replacing a damaged boot immediately can save you the cost of a complete constant velocity joint.
It requires separating the CV joint from the wheel hub, but it is a standard job for a competent DIY mechanic. The old ring is tapped off and the new one is pressed or heat-shrunk into place.
