172 driveshafts part number?

[Radugns]

Hello,

As I did not receive any confirmation from JR parts with what driveshafts should I buy for my 172 non cup Clio, I ask here if anyone could help me with the part numbers for 172 non cup driveshafts.
Does the 182 non cup ones fits? I like better the driver side inner boot style compared to 172 one.
I've read some topics here but no one need for non cup versions.

Thanks,
Radu

AFAIK the Phase 2 172’s use the same drive shafts as the 182’s. The 172 Cup is different.

All 182’s have the same ones, it’s just the hubs & bearings that are different.

This is the part they sent me DS248 but my original has a pressed on rubber seal at the gearbox end and this doesn't. Still haven't had an answer back from them to confirm if I need to source a seal or if this design doesn't require one

The seal is seperate from the shaft iirc, it is fitted to the gearbox.

Yeh it's weird my original shaft seems to have some sort of dust seal pressed on during manufacture that aftermarket replacements don't have.

For 172 non cup?

Yeh they said this was the correct part for Clio 172 sport with ABS maybe I just need to source a 182 dust seal separately

I just swapped mine over from the old shaft.

Couldn't budge mine but it's been on there for 18 years I suppose. Think I've found the correct part anyway and it's only £2
part no. 8200117465
if anyone else needs a new one.

For 172 non cup?

I measured everything compared to my old shaft and it's all the same

 

[Radugns]

I will try to find the other side also and buy as a pair.

DS20 for nearside

 

[Radugns]

So Ds248 and Ds20 are the pair for 172 non cup driveshafts?

 

[Radugns]

Have you got any rubbing issues on the engine block with the driver side one?

 

[d19wood]

Not fitted the new ones yet as my gearbox is in for a rebuild but at a previous MOT the garage changed the CV gator and the band they used to secure it fouled on the block and splattered grease all over the place as soon as I drove off ?. The boot clips/bands on these are almost flush with the shaft so don't see there being any issue

Can you please reply after fitting them?

Yeh sure, will be a few weeks though as I'm waiting for Quaife

I just bought a pair for spares, I’ll cut the block down to prevent fouling just hope they last if ever needed
