[micky boy]

was it the iner joint or outer? eather way they both have circlips the only way they can come out

is if they have'nt been put in right so take your shaft out and have a look hope that helps

Did it make any noise such as clicking noise when turning? If so your CV could be damaged and you'd need to replace it.

Otherwise you can buy a new CV boot for about £6 and get it fitted for £10 or so.

If you need an inner CV or a driveshaft, I have spares here.

just had a wee look and i adjusted my frst coment.

i was meaning the joint closet to the box?

[Idrees]

Yeah thats the inner CV, sounds like the boot has come off mate so the grease may have leaked out. If it has then you will want to put new grease in because it could get damaged without it.

[micky boy]

that has a circlip to..it also has bearings.. get some pics up then we will have more of an idear

I came across this, also found it to be loosing a bearing from the inner boot on passenger side so changed the shaft.

Guessing your sorted now but im curious to know if anyone else has seen this =/
