Is there a difference in driveshafts if I have a 182 cup suspension? Can I use a 172 driveshaft? Boot where bearning is leaking

Which boot is leaking?
You should be able to replace the boot without the need to change the shaft.

 

[bloke]

just replace the boot.

Ive been told that it's part of the driveshaft? It's the inner boot that stays still while shaft rotates.

Ohhh. Ok, any special tools needed? Except your normal garage equipment?

Not true.

You may find a GKN boot on eBay at a better price, but to save the hassle of knocking the tripod off & back on, just get a £50 J&R shaft complete or a Shaftec R396L for somewhat more, but I can say Shaftec do last, 25k miles on mine to date.
And top up/change the gearbox oil when your done.

@LeeRS had a similar issue. He’s just bought a complete driveshaft from j&r because he’s minted and money is no object.

I'm not too bothered about knocking tripod off and on, I'm pretty well mechanically minded, only thing I'm wondering about is if it starts leaking again. £150 for a driveshaft will be reasonable if it does last and won't give me anymore hassle.
The link that you sent me won't open unfortunately.

How much is j&r drive shaft? What about getting one from euro or any other car part place? Surely there isn't a different shaft size option :/

There is. £50 from j&r and mines been on for ages. @bloke fitted mine, zero issues.

J&R only sell direct from eBay, Andrew Page will supply Shaftec products.

Which ever side you think has gone, full lock to that side and drive your car. It should make a clicking sound.

No clicking sound but hard to tell over the exhaust. Any other ways with the car jacked up? Should there be movement?

That doesn't tell me the cv is fucked just the boot is

You can do it with car jacked up and full lock just by turning wheel. Also lift your driveshaft up and down to see if you got any excessive movement, in and out and also rotate it.

Only local! Drop the teabag off yourself . Any pics of your clio?

I think you're probably best for the price of a j&r shaft. Apparently they don't recommend for lowered cars but they do provide warranty. Just don't let them know it's lowered if the boot splits again. Apparently you can shave some off the block near the boot to stop it being so close and catching?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah lee said that ref lowered cars.
