Very common on that shaft, causes vibration especially through the steering wheel when going fast, all the diesel and petrol models that have that half shaft set up I've noticed do it. That's the best grease to put on the shaft. Makes your shaft end last longer in that half shaft end.

Is it possible to replace with 1 piece shaft?

[@magdapanufnik1553]

You may have jusr solved my problem 😂after balancing 5times and wheel alighnment the vibration will not go away and today i noticed the rubber on my cv is split so think it maybe tike to switch the shaft

So, if you have a bad internal bearings whole axle needs to be changed or? I have a problem with vibrations around 20-30 km/h, and my friend and me checked axles yesterday. It turns out that both axle internal bearings are bad, so I will change that soon, but I was wondering if picking up a whole new axle is needed, or just internal part with three bearings inside. And yeah, car is Astra J GTC 1.7 cdti.

You can replace only the CV joint, not the whole axle. I was able to find cheap genuine axle and that's why I replaced it as whole.

[@ivanuremovic1199]

@@icku Ah, I see. I'm glad to hear that since whole axle is like 300 euros, while bearing only is around 100, as far as I saw.

Did it solve the problem ? I have intermittent wobbling under acceleration and at higher speed and no one really knows why.

[@icku]

If it happens under accelaration most likely is the CV axle.

[@TheLightMyFire]

@@icku I had my wheels balanced multiple times,one mechanic told me it's the steering rack,another that it's the shock absorber another that it's the brake disk and it is getting annoying. Now the question is which axle ? Left or right ? How can I determine that. The whole car wobbles and trembles I do t feel it from left or right to know.

Why you do not use mcpherson joint?

[@icku]

Sorry, but what do you mean with that?

[@Ravsawicki1]

[@tilly0191]

So you paid all that money for a refurbished driveshaft for a split cv boot. That cv boot is around €10 and a half hours work to take old of and refit 😂
