Renault Refurbished Driveshaft

[smittytom]

What's the crack with these days?
Are they still a no go?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

 

[MicKPM]

I've used them before without issue

They are fine, years warranty on them to, you get £20 back on your old shaft in exchange for the new one iirc

 

[smittytom]

[Alastair.]

Whats the story with this?
Buy a refurbed shaft from renault and they buy your old one back and refurb then sell on?

 

[Alastair.]

Yes.

Are you going to post the price in here when you find out? Im needing a new shaft so this could be good!

 

[MartinR]

I was quoted £112 for a nearside shaft the other day from renault*

 

[Tony Hunter]

Was that new or referb ?

 

[MartinR]

Think it was a refurb Tony?

I run them on my car, and I wouldn't fit anything else unless only brand new was available (172 cup is new only)

ph1 are £135.53, ph2 172/182/182 cup are £151.61

Yeah Ali that would be amazing, I am only in Westbury so not far to Platinum at all.

ph1 are about £132, ph2 172/182/182 cup are about £152

What was all the talk before about them deploying air bags etc etc?

dunno. There was a note on the system about 4 years ago about a fault, but I think it got left on there by mistake. They're literally as good as brand new

It was the ones with the other bearing on the o/s shaft. Bad patch of bearings caused a vibration, and boom, air bag.
