Volvo Propshaft CV Joint Kit - Genuine Volvo 31216176

Product Information

The drive shaft CV (constant velocity) joint kit is a crucial drivetrain component that allows smooth transfer of power from the transmission to the wheels, even when the suspension is moving or the wheels are turning. It maintains consistent rotational speed without friction or play, ensuring stable handling and efficient power delivery. The kit typically includes the CV joint, protective boot, grease, and necessary hardware for installation. Built from high-strength steel and engineered for durability, it helps prevent drivetrain vibration, noise, and premature wear.

• Clicking or popping noises when turning – a common sign of a worn or damaged CV joint.
• Grease leakage from torn CV boot – indicates loss of lubrication and potential joint contamination.
• Excessive vibration during acceleration – caused by joint wear or imbalance in the drive shaft assembly.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
