Overhaul of the axle shaft — general information (Peugeot Partner I)

1. If any of the tests described in the "Road Test" section of Chapter 1A or 1B, shows signs of wear in any axle joint, follow these procedures to identify the cause of the problem.

2. Fully apply the parking brake. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely (see "Lifting and installing the car on supports").

3. Make a tool to hold the wheel hub (see paragraph 2) and use bolts to secure the tool to the hub. Remove the R-clamp, remove the locking cap from the axle nut and use a torque wrench to check that the nut is tight. After tightening the nut, install the retaining cap and R-clip in place. Repeat this check for the other axle shaft nut.

4. Road test the vehicle. While driving the car slowly in a circle with the front wheels turned to their maximum angle, listen for metallic clicking sounds coming from the front of the car. The presence of a "clicking" noise indicates wear on the outer constant velocity joint. This joint should be replaced; repair is not possible.

5. If you feel a speed-dependent vibration when accelerating your vehicle, the inner joints may be worn out.

6. To check the joints for wear, remove the axle shafts and then disassemble them. If wear or play is detected, the joint in question should be replaced. In most cases this will require replacing the entire axle shaft unless the joints are supplied separately. For information on purchasing individual half shaft components, please contact your Peugeot/Citroen dealer.
