Offside Velocity gaiter split

28th March 2011, 21:55

Did a google search and it something to do with drive shaft? is it a easy fix could somebody explain how to do it?

also both my rear wheel bearings and Anti roll bar linkages need replacing are these easy jobs bearing in mind I've only got a jack and some spanners lol

The velocity gaiter would be the CV boot(Constant Velocity joint) if this has gone your best to just put a new driveshaft in its a whole lot easier. The driveshaft and anti roll bar linkages are doable on a jack however to do wheel bearings you need a press to get the bearing out unless you buy a complete new hub with one in(if its possible on a saxo). If you want some instructions on doing it then ive got some and can PM you with them.

Yea mate that would be great if you could pm some instructions would really appreciate it

So the bearings are basicly a garage job? unless I can get them on the hub, how much would a garage charge?

I did my bearings myself, well changed the hubs as it was just easier cost me £98 for the pair of hubs. But I will warn you they are a mare to get off, I ended up giving up and bought a hub puller which made the job so much easier and worth buying. also takes a fair bit of boshing to get the new hub on but was free labour compared to a garage

Where did you get the bearings from? cheapest i found is £67 each.
