Driveshafts

[scotiamr2t]

There always seems to be posts looking for driveshaft information, i recently contacted shaftec about various shafts and received the following part numbers back for the varying clios.

Clio 172 cup (1 piece offside shaft)
LHS = R209AL
RHS = R209AR

Clio 172 (2 piece offiside shaft) 8mm thick ABS ring
LHS = R209AL
RHS = R218AR

Clio 182 (2 piece offside shaft) 15mm thick ABS ring
LHS = R396L
RHS = R396R

PH2 172 left hand shaft should be R218AL I believe.
182 with 15mm ABS ring is for cup packed cars.

Any prices?

I had an R518AR from Andrew Page in September 2015 for £72 I/c vat.
They have 2 branches in Sheffield.

I believe the only weak link on my cup pack 182 is the drive shafts.... I wouldn't mind replacing both, can anyone with experience point me to the right ones and retailers and for the best price please....?:smile:

 

[imprezaworks]

I have had my passenger side from j&r for a good few months with zero issues and fitment. Cost £50

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Excellent! Cheers ImprezaDan! :smile::up:

 

[imprezaworks]

Your most welcome

 

[scotiamr2t]

Prices will depend heavily on your local motorfactors, Dingbro and TMS motorspares both quoted me around £90 per shaft.

 

[Jekyll]

Do these come with CV joints as well?

 

[scotiamr2t]

Do these come with CV joints as well?

yes come as a complete shaft with CV's, boots and ABS rings

WI'll these do for my 182 cup. Messaged the seller an he said they will.

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

If they do that's a f**king belting price compared to renault prices

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Those are the ones Imprezaworks bought and said has no issues... :up:

 

[imprezaworks]

sorry to bump this old post, i'm assuming some of these users are still on here, do these j&r nearside shafts fit a 182 with cup packs?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-...3?clk_rvr_id=1463913856469&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

 

[imprezaworks]

Ring them mate, just to confirm the part.

I have a nearside from them and have had for about 12 months with no issues.

 

[Gandi69]

yeah I think I will mate, just out of interest was yours a 182 cup/full fat then? 50 quid is a bit more easy to swallow than the price of genuine shafts if they can even get them anymore!

 

[VR46-G@Z]

K-tec do (or did) renault shafts if you're worried about oem...You get money back for exchange as well, not cheap but I went with that because oem...:up:

Mine is a full fat mate

Yeah - Renault OEM prices are a bit crazy. I went that route, purely for peace of mind if they didn't fit - I didn't want the garage charging me for labour on something that was not going to work in the first place.

Silly expensive - I'm sure mine were north of £300 and I got about £90 back when I handed my old ones in. The splines on the driver's side input shaft were shagged to say the least.

 

[Gandi69]

Thanks for the help, I’m going to give these guys a call today and see what they have in stock.
Need to get a new abs sensor for it too as that was literally stuck in the hub, had to cut the top off and smash the innards out with a hammer and punch

@STEVE.M

 

[STEVE.M]

182 Front ABS sensor should have 2 female pins Bosch 0265 006383, oe 7700411745, about £30 on eBay.

 

[Gandi69]

Thanks chaps, spoke to j&r but they apparently only do one passenger shaft for the 182 and they don’t allow customers to speak to the tech guys anymore. I’ll wait a bit for a reply but I wonder if it’s worth a punt ordering the one on the eBay link

SORRY 7700411747 OR 7700415681 Bosch number 0 265 006 383 is correct. Not 7700411745, that`s a LHR, though not for a 182.

It will come with 2ABS rings 44T, 7.5 or 15mm wide.

Do it Steve... solve everyone's problems

 

[Gandi69]

Well it’s arrived and seems to fit the hub which is good. The abs ring is a lot thinner than standard but has the correct amount of teeth at least, the other ring looks the same width but far more teeth. No point me fitting it yet as my gearbox oil order hasn’t shown up so I’ll just wait until it shows up. Would like get it fitted before the snow hits though - do not want to be freezing when doing it

i spoke to one of them last year, might as well of asked my grandad and he died about 5 years ago!!!!!

If I had a pound for every time, I`d have no problems.

 

[Gandi69]

Just having a look at the abs rings now, the number of teeth match just fine yet the ring itself is much narrower than the standard one (probably about a third of the width).
The ring with more teeth (which I assume is for other variants of the car) is wider but still not as wide as the standard/Renault item.
Has anyone fitted it with the supplied thin abs ring and it worked fine? I’d rather not get it all together and find the abs is throwing a wobbly as the hall sensor can’t see the ring.
Suppose I could tap on the old abs ring if all else fails...

 

[bloke]

you need the wider ring.

 

[Gandi69]

Is that what you did then mate, fitted a j&r shaft with a standard/Renault abs ring?

 

[bloke]

it should come with a wider ring anyway.

 

[Gandi69]

For future reference or those who might be curious - from the right
what came on the drive shaft so the thinnest ring same number of teeth as original,
Middle is the spare ring supplied by j and r - incorrect amount of teeth for my car but wider than the ring on the shaft
Far left and dirty is your standard abs ring from a genuine Renault shaft

 

[bloke]

what's the tooth count on the wider ring? have used about 20 or so of their rings and never had a problem.
