   2001 citroen saxo 1.4 8v furio
   
   
   i have had a knocking noise coming from the passenger side arch for since owning the car (1 week) and today i took it to kwik fit, he put it on the ramp to reveal grease all over, hense the cv joint. he said it had just burst and that it is easier to change the whole cv joint becuase the joint itself might have broke due to the grease leaking all over my wheel, he said £89 to inc part and fitting, so off a trot to my local motor factor who told me i need a cv joint driveshaft is this correct? has when one of these went on my corsa i only need the joint itself. also does the 1.4 furio have abs?
   
   any advise would be great

   a think you can buy the kits, but tbh id much rather get the whole thing, the kits are about 35 quid its not much more for the whole thing and will be a lot less on labour charges with the whole thing
