Car parts and drivetrain components for Suzuki Baleno.
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.
