Does anyone know about CV joints on a Peugeot 106?
Answers:
You only need to get whichever side is knocking sorted,
www.gsfcarparts.com is a good place for peugeot parts, the CV joint will cost you about £65 each. It' simple enough to fit, if you take it to a local mechanic or a friend they should be able to fit it within half an hour to an hour, Budget about £50 for Labour tops.
£120 should cover you for one side and fitting budget £200 if you need both sides sorted.
The CV joint could knock for the next 10 year and never let you down but you should get it sorted whenever budget allows, there's no major panic with them.
Go to Kwik Fit. They are best & they give free estimates
I just had my CV joints changed on my Nissan Primera and that cost me £100 each side! I would expect it to be cheaper being a smaller car and french spares are usually cheaper than japanese.
Constant velocity joints are usually reliable and largely trouble-free. The two main failures are wear and partial seizure.
Wear in the outer joint usually shows up as vibration at certain speeds, a bit like the vibration caused by an unbalanced wheel. To determine if the joint is worn, find a big empty car park and drive the car slowly in tight circles, left and right. Worn joints will make a rhythmic clicking or cracking noise. Wear in the inner joints shows up as a "clunk" when applying power, or if severe, when lifting off the throttle.
Got mine done for about £100 each side, but that was separately, maybe cheaper to get both done at once.
