The outer CV joint sits closest to the wheel and accommodates steering angles, whilst the inner joint sits nearest the gearbox and handles suspension movement. Outer joints wear out more frequently and produce clicking noises when turning.

ABS rings on Suzuki vehicles are exposed to corrosion and rust that builds up beneath the ring, which eventually causes it to crack. This disrupts the sensor signal and illuminates the ABS warning light.

If the fault lies solely within the joint and the shaft itself is straight and undamaged, it is usually sufficient to replace just the worn constant velocity joint, which is a much more cost-effective option.

Propeller shafts for the Grand Vitara vary depending on the wheelbase and gearbox. Select your vehicle's make, model and engine in our parts finder to find the prop shaft that matches your car's exact configuration.
