Car parts and drivetrain components for Suzuki Jimny.
The most common sign is a clicking or knocking noise from the front wheels when turning sharply, such as during parking manoeuvres. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, it is a clear symptom of a worn outer CV joint.
Vibrations during acceleration are often caused by imbalance or wear in a propeller shaft or an inner CV joint. On the Jimny, it is common for the universal joints in the prop shaft to wear out, generating vibrations that spread throughout the entire chassis.
No, there are differences in length and mountings depending on whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox, as well as the model year. Always select your vehicle's make, model and engine to find the correct propeller shaft.
We recommend inspecting the CV boots at every service or after driving in rough off-road terrain. A split or cracked boot should be replaced immediately to prevent dirt from damaging the more expensive constant velocity joint.
Our CV joint kits are complete to ensure hassle-free installation. They typically contain the CV joint itself, a vehicle-specific CV boot, high-performance grease, circlips and the necessary clamps.
Yes, if you have basic mechanical knowledge and the right tools, it is entirely feasible. However, it is vital to ensure that the shaft is fitted correctly and that all bolts are tightened to the correct torque settings to prevent future vibrations.
