CITRÖEN driveshaft catalogue and transmission components

In this section you will find a specialised selection of replacement parts for the transmission system of vehicles from the French brand. Here you will find CITRÖEN driveshafts designed to meet the required technical specifications, enabling an effective restoration of torque transfer from the gearbox to the wheels.

These components are aimed at both professional workshops and private individuals looking for reliable spare parts for corrective maintenance. Ensuring the integrity of these parts is essential to prevent vibrations in the chassis and to guarantee safety while driving across the different models in the range, whether passenger cars or commercial vehicles.

Key factors when choosing the correct driveshaft

  • OEM reference: Check that the original part number matches the selected replacement to ensure proper fitment.
  • Fitting side: Confirm whether you need the part for the front left axle (driver’s side) or right (passenger’s side), as lengths vary.
  • Dimensions and splines: Check the overall length and the number of external splines, both on the wheel side and on the differential side.
  • Braking system and ABS: Verify whether the vehicle has ABS and the number of teeth on the sensor ring, a critical detail for electronic operation.
  • Engine configuration: Compatibility depends strictly on the engine type and the gearbox associated with the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

How do I identify the driveshaft compatible with my vehicle?

The most accurate way to ensure compatibility is by locating the original (OEM) reference engraved on the old part. It is also advisable to validate the exact model, year of manufacture and engine type in the vehicle’s technical data sheet before selecting the replacement part in the catalogue.

What are the symptoms of a damaged driveshaft or axle shaft?

The most common signs include metallic noises or rhythmic clicking (clack-clack) when turning the steering while moving, noticeable vibrations in the steering wheel when accelerating, and the presence of grease on the inner rim or underbody due to torn protective boots.

Is it necessary to replace both driveshafts at the same time?

It is not mandatory to replace both sides simultaneously if only one is faulty. However, since both components experience similar wear due to use and mileage, it is advisable to inspect the condition of the opposite side to prevent further mechanical work in the short term.

Does the replacement part come ready for installation?

As a general rule, driveshafts are supplied as complete, assembled units, including the CV joints and rubber boots with the corresponding grease. This makes direct installation on the vehicle easier, without the need to handle internal components beforehand.
