Clio Driveshaft pass side inner CV boot leak

[Adey]

Picked up a cup last week, the car seems to be leaking gearbox fluid from what looks to be a bearing in the inner cv. Things to note are the bearing seems to slide up and down the driveshaft, im sure this isnt meant to happen? can anyone confirm? I mean the movement rather than the leak. Any way to fix it?

We were talking about this on another thread recently... and no, it's not meant to slide up and down.

Clio - N/s inner cv boot/bearing

Be aware there are a couple of sizes of that boot, I think it's either 28mm or 25mm shaft/bearing diameter

nice one cheers. can it be purchased through a normal motor factor?

 

[Neal R19]

I assume so, I've found them in the SKF and GKN web catalogues, I'm sure if you have the part number they'll order whatever you want.

ill measure the shaft size and go from there. Im sure i have receipts for the whole shaft being new this year

Mine is 28mm on my dci. I cross referenced the part number then found a genuine new cv boot/bearing for £25 on ebay so might be worth measuring and having a sniff round.
