Driveshaft leaking gearbox oil out of metal seal.

[Craig]

I've just changed my drive shaft because it was clicking. Went for a drive and it's leaking gearbox oil though the metal seal. So I'm thinking if I buy a cv boot kit will it cure the clicking on my original shaft? Or can the metal seals be fixed?

Thanks

check the boot is on straight and the metal ring is tight. you can buy a boot kit for them if needs be.

 

[Craig]

Yeah checked everything was ok and tight. Where's the best place to buy the cv boot/joint kit from?

 

[bloke]

euro do them.

[Craig]

Ok cheers mate. Fix one problem and have another.

 

[bloke]

[Craig]

Lol you will get it one day

 

[imprezaworks]

Hope you feel better

 

[Craig]

Just a quick one. Is it still ok to drive while I source a cv joint kit?

 

[Craig]

Right people little more help. I can find the cv boot on euro boot I can't find the cv joint kit. Do they not do them?. And I'm guessing the kit has to be specifically for a cupped 182?

 

[Craig]

Or even better anyone know where to get a new driveshaft from that doesn't cost the earth is possible

 

[bloke]

just to confirm you are talking passenger side?

they do either a gkn or lucas that will be cheaper than q drive shite!!

 

[Craig]

Yeah mate passenger side out of the metal seal. Cheers mate. Another quick question can you buy the cv joint kits separately as well as the cv boot?

Everywhere I've tried to track down a shaft from has recommended ktec. Even the local dealer believe it or not lol.

 

[Craig]

Lol well there's a shock. Have Renault discontinued them?

 

[DannyR]

I've just paid £120+vat for drivers side from Renault, passenger side is usually cheaper

 

[Craig]

Ok mate cheers. In hindsight I probably should of bought a new one to start with.

 

[bloke]

the inner joint is just a tripod joint so should be easy to get on their own.

outer available on it's own.

 

[Craig]

Ok mate thanks.
