Common signs of a faulty drive shaft include severe vibrations under acceleration or a clunking noise from underneath the car. If the shaft is bent or the joints are excessively worn, it can significantly affect the car's drivability. We recommend a visual inspection of the drive shaft and its CV boots to detect any damage in good time.

Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt and moisture have damaged the CV joint itself, replacing just the boot is often sufficient. We supply model-specific CV boot kits that include grease and clamps for a complete repair.

No, there are variations depending on the model year and whether the car is equipped with ABS. It is therefore crucial to check the spline count and dimensions. Select your vehicle's exact make, model and engine to find the correct outer CV joint for your car.

The outer CV joint sits at the wheel hub and allows for steering angles, whereas the inner CV joint sits at the gearbox and accommodates suspension travel. Symptoms of wear also differ; outer joints typically click when cornering, whilst a worn inner CV joint tends to cause shuddering or vibration during straight-line acceleration.
