Car parts and drivetrain components for Volvo 240 2.3. Always check the fit before ordering.
It depends on which gearbox and rear axle your car is fitted with. The most reliable way to identify the correct shaft is to select your car's exact make, model and engine variant in our shop, and check whether your vehicle is fitted with the Spicer or Hardy Spicer system.
Common symptoms include a whining or grinding noise from beneath the centre of the car, as well as body vibrations at specific speeds. Also inspect the rubber bushing surrounding the bearing for cracks or softening.
Yes, it is possible to replace only the joints, but it requires precision and often specialist tools. To guarantee vibration-free operation, we generally recommend replacing the assembly with a complete, factory-balanced propeller shaft.
Vibrations at this speed are often caused by an imbalance in the propeller shaft, which can stem from worn universal joints, a faulty centre bearing, or a prop shaft that has taken an impact and been bent out of true.
These are two different manufacturers that Volvo used. They differ in flange design and tube diameter. It is essential to know which type your car has fitted to ensure you order the correct spare parts for your drivetrain.
Yes, all our complete propeller shafts are delivered fully factory-balanced. This ensures smooth, quiet running straight after installation with no need for further balancing.
