Clio 2 phase 2 Cv joint

[jonhlemon]

Hello guys,
My cv joint has given up on life, so i'm looking to replace it.
I was gonna order a Metelli Cv joint off autodoc, but my poor research about this topic (there's not alot of info) said that cv joints cannot be removed from the driveshaft on clio's and i need to buy a driveshaft if i want to replace it?
Can someone give me some light, im very confused!

Thanks!

Pretty sure they can as I think @GrahamS took apart his spares for parts.

Thanks! Another question, can you identify if my abs ring is 26 or 44 teeths?

I've had several CV boots changed on my 1.2 16v 2003 and on my old 1.4 1999. You don't need a new driveshaft until the driveshaft makes a noise or the abs ring is broke. Is there a reason why you ask about the abs teeth?

The issue it's not my boots, it's my cv joint that i clicks alot when i turn left while accelerating

I cant have full acess to the wheel, but it's gonna be 26 teeth for sure because i can count 11 on the side i can see

I was under the impression that OEM can't be changed. However, my mate whos a mechanic replaced mine after much hassle of trying different driveshafts to find the correct one but now the CV can be changed on it rather than needing a whole new shaft.

Can buy a whole new driveshaft including cv joints,boots and also both abs rings for about £50 from ebay, think it's called JR driveshafts.

Can also buy just the boots separate too
