139 new parts join Shaftec’s New To Range collection

Birmingham-based automotive remanufacturer Shaftec Automotive has added a mammoth 139 parts to its New To Range portfolio for February. This includes 119 CV joints, 16 driveshafts, four brake calipers, and three steering racks.

A key application for the new CV joints includes the CV2141N for the Ford Transit V363 (2019 onwards), while a key application for the driveshafts includes the C320L/C320R for the Citroen C3 Aircross (2017 onwards). The new brake calipers feature the BC11849/BC21849 part for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (2018 onwards), and the additional steering racks include the ERRM2457 for the BMW X1 (F48) (2015-2022).

These new additions come following the four new brake calipers added to the company’s New To Range collection in January.

Shaftec Marketing Manager Adrian Kitchen said: “Adding 139 new parts to our New To Range portfolio in a single month is a significant achievement and demonstrates Shaftec’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the automotive aftermarket. Expanding our range is essential to ensuring our customers have access to the right parts, at the right time, for a wide variety of vehicle applications.

“From CV joints and driveshafts to brake calipers and steering racks, each addition strengthens our position as the UK’s leading remanufacturer and supplier of Drive, Steer & Stop products.”

Here are some signs that your driveshafts might need changing:

·       Inspect the driveshaft: Look for any signs of damage such as cracks or dents.

·       Check the inner/outer joints: Check if there is any play or looseness in them.

·       Check for vibrations: If you feel any vibrations while driving, it could be an indication of a damaged driveshaft.

·       Listen for noises: If you hear any clunking or grinding noises while driving, it could be an indication of a damaged driveshaft.

Shaftec always recommends that if drivers notice any issues with their vehicle, they seek the advice of an expert.
