Volvo S40

The most common signs are heavy vibrations under acceleration or a thumping noise from the front suspension. If the vibrations stop when you lift off the accelerator, it is often the inner CV joint on the drive shaft that is worn.

A clicking or popping sound when turning is almost always caused by a worn outer CV joint. This is often the result of a split CV boot that has allowed dirt and moisture to penetrate the joint.

No, specifications vary depending on engine size, gearbox type and model year. It is crucial to check the spline count and whether the car has ABS. Select your vehicle's make, model and engine in our store to find the correct part.

The ABS ring is mounted on the CV joint and provides wheel speed signals to the ABS sensor. On the Volvo S40, rust commonly builds up beneath the ring, causing it to expand and eventually crack, which triggers the ABS warning light.

On most Volvo S40 models, you can easily replace just the outer CV joint if the shaft itself is undamaged. This is often a much more economical solution than replacing the entire drive shaft.

A defective propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing typically causes vibrations felt throughout the entire body, especially at specific speeds. You may also hear a whining or grinding noise coming from beneath the car.

As dedicated specialists, we have in-depth knowledge of exact fitments and technical specifications. We can offer a much wider range of specific parts, such as drive shafts and ABS rings, than general car parts retailers.
