250 Driveshaft fail

Seems a twist ice cream! Maybe thats the problem with low suspension that people say? In my garage, usually fit re-build driveshafts and never have a problem, but never change in a RS...

 

Cut the rubber off and have a look inside, it might have actually broken the spider and not popped out

 

I don´t know man, but must to be any place, web or anything where you can get it. Russia is a very big country!

 

You might have broken one of the fingers off of the spider, there are three fingers in there, there are bearings on the end of the fingers, one of them might have broken up and it is jumping around inside.

 

I am not sure, never changed one yet, the ends come off though, had to take mine off to change the rubber boots.

 

SNR NTN are good for bearings etc so would imagine that there other stuff is good.

Using there bearings in my gearbox rebuild.

 

will be waiting

 

very rear see fail like this even with ppl lowering ride height

i replaced my factory shafts as a precaution after 70k miles with SRN-NTA and can report zero issues for 30k miles and shoving 360 lb/ft pretty hard at them every time driven so would recommend

 

Thats remember me a hillclimb that we race. In JB3 and JC5 gear boxes, those finger fit directly in the diff. Well, one finger broke, and the needle bearings go inside the gear box so...bye bye and race over!

 

Outer CV joints you could buy separately from NTN-SNR, beeing item Nr. OJK 55.026.

Whereas for the inner tripode joints (broken one in the picture) I couldn't find a source to buy them from. These tripodes are reverenced to be TJ92 in the Renault manual and as a lot of other tripods, it should be a GKN part...

It would be best to buy a remanufactured drive shaft from Renault, NTN-SNR or SKF, I think.

 

Oh, just seen, that you're asking for Mk3 parts, whereas above mentioned CV joints are Mk2 parts...sorry
