can i know what's the price for changing the drive shaft for my old saga?

Thank you in advance for the info.

for both left/right including the CV joints, IINM rm400-500 for recond. ori proton parts much more expensive.

just CV joints alone is maybe 200-300? or even less.

thank you for your info.

Find it very helpful

The drive-shaft itself cost be about RM150/piece. Installation about RM100 or so. I don't remember exactly - something I did about a year back on my own ride...

oh. . .
thanks alot!

also to note, if its just CV joints replacement, labour isnt much. however if whole drive shaft replace, labour may be around/over rm100 as goldenhawk mentioned, also you will need to replace gear box oil, and its oil seals.

RM125 for 1 side .. original proton with 3 months warranty

thats the CV joint price or the whole driveshaft??..

only driveshaft without CV joint

got it rm100 for each side replacement including labor (for wira n satria, kancil maybe lower a bit), but its not new, its refurbish (diff from recon) the shop is specialist for driveshaft, even all the FR cars send there to refurbish their longshaft.. located at Bukit Kuda Klang..

already change my friend's satria both driveshaft more then 3 years back, my wife kancil year 2006 also both driveshaft almost 2 years right now, and my wira 5 years back n still no problem until now..

any one got recommendation for workshop to go for low cost repair. . .?
i stay in kepong area. . .
thank for all your help . . .

generally, will cost around 120-150 for one side complete not including installation.

That's quite cheap, if the shafts are that reliable.

(That's just one reason why I don't exactly fancy front wheel
drive cars. The propeller shaft in rear wheel drives will last you
virtually the life of the car, with only the univeral joints
having to be replaced after 10 years or so - maybe $30 for both
front and back, labour perhaps $50 these days.)

Taman Yulek (or Cheras) and ask. Be aware that he doesn't seem
to answer his phone these days (probably not keen to repair my old
car), and his wife can be quite cocky.

His work is reliable and charges reasonable.

yup, its reliable bro..
the con for car with longshaft is the weight of longshaft quite heavy n load transfer is lesser compare FF engine..

My saga recently changed CV joint, both sides with labour RM400, is that reasonable?

thank bro for sharing info

that expensive bro..

Sorry to bump up old thread.

Question: is cv joint covered by warranty?

Just got my Saga 4 months ago, now its already fried.
