Title: 2010 FD i30 CW RH Driveshaft Replacement
Post by: tw2005 on November 14, 2016, 19:41:27
I've got myself a 2010 FD i30CW CRDi and after a short while driving it develops a huge drivetrain vibration like when the inner driveshaft joints have failed.

I popped under and sure enough grease is escaping from the Right side inner.

I have no manuals to go by but has anyone got any info on the process or even just the torque settings on the shaft nut?

I've done a pair of shafts before on a Mitsubishi so I'm hoping it's similar.

Is there a factory workshop manual available?

Nice. I did find that last night so are you recommending this to purchase? Is this what you have?

Oh and my shaft arrived $135 from Supercheap special order (10% off) GSP CVS.572 3yr 60 000k wty RHS 1.6 CRDI auto

Hey, shafts are pretty straightforward replacement. Only thing i will mention is you will loose oil from the gearbox, be sure to be prepared for the mess and to top it back up.

The most important torque as you asked is the 32mm driveshaft/bearing preload.
196-274nm

Cheers,

I managed to find these specs , as these are Elantra based I went with the 2007-11 spec of 274Nm which is exactly what you said but of course having to get the castelled nut lined up for the pin would mean there'll need to be a tolerance.

All fixed and beautifully smooth again . Took me roughly  1-1.5hr.

Removed the wheel,  removed the caliper, rotor,cracked the nut, removed the strut bolts, brake line bracket, ABS sensor, tie-rod end, have enough play then to pop the shaft out. No fluid dropped maybe because I had just the right side elevated.

May be possible to refurb the inner, grease slowly escaping and looked quite black so getting hot I think. Boots were fine

Well, that is only workshop manual I am aware of for the i30. I have that and the epc program. Best 20 £ i have invested for my car. Not the easiest to use due virtual desktop and some info is quite well hidden into the software. That is basicly the same program the dealer uses, but there is no support for connectiong the car to the software. Also the versions I have have also most of the other older hyundai manuals as well, Getz, santa fe etc eventhough it was advertised as i30 program. Those programs have saved me a ton of money. Literally. I've done all the services and repairs DIY.

It has a lot of fans. As you say it is far more than just an i30 manual ; consequently its a huge download.
 Possible that your download was corrupted due to drop outs etc..... as others have experienced.

eventualy worked ot out , it's the whole software suite with the manuals but a lot of data missing like the parts catalogue which would have been handy. Because it's a VM the manual tab was out of sight at the bottom. Looks pretty good. Just need to learn how to use it which I will now I have two of these cars.

Some additional information on the RH shaft inner joint issues.

After inspecting the shaft I removed a bit closer today I'm going to make suggestion as to the cause.

I'm not feeling any absurd amount of play in the joint, and the boot has not perish but grease is escaping.

What I've found is although the boot is intact, and the clamp also intact,  the boot itself  is no longer clamped or sealing firm against the joint housing.

It's as though it has shrunk from heat  , age or both or the clamp was not tight enough in the first place.

I can easily wobble the case within the boot. Re clamping if noticed early enough may help but if you start seeing any grease weeping from your RH inner joint then the boot has failed to seal and eventually the grease will run out causing the joint to overheat and bind up which is what I expect happened with mine.

The longer the drive the worse it got.

Interesting with my LH shaft , same age miles etc the boot is still tight and sealed :disapp:

Another victim of the leaky boots. Spotted this recently with a steering rack swap out. Junior did not take it to Fulcrum for top up of grease and a re-clamp which should have fixed it.

Not sure if the joint is ok but has reached the point where the shaft vibrates at speed under high loads.

Play in the joint felt the same as the new shaft I pit in. May be worth a refurb for the next one to go.

Lucky I had this shaft for a rainy day :crazy1: Just wish it was not :faint:

If it's not due to the grease then it's wear in the joint due to the grease escaping. But it's the shaft 100% that  starts going eccentric. New shaft, test drive, perfect again.

I'm hoping it's grease because I'd love to salvage the shaft( wishfull thinking) but no analysis, no data, nothing learnt.

I will get it stripped down and see how it is by someone who's qualified. I have a nother set and I think I have the original one from teh wagon which was atrocious.

3 rd car and 2 makes I've experienced this phenomenon. The other was a Mitsubishi Galant. I posted that one in another car forum many years ago only to have some fool "dealership" mechanic call crap, never seen one do that.

anyway,  I digress.

Oh, and I should also mention it's always the longest shaft too that's sensitive to this which makes sense.

no doubt you will let us know. Just that weight of grease V weight of uni joint does seem to be a factor. More likely  its binding up due to no lube???     :head_butt:

Quite likely. I'm a bit pissed off because i've now had to use my only good shaft when we could have extended the previous one.

I found an aftermarket GSP number for the inner,

GSP 624061

(https://cdn.motordoctor.de/thumb?m=1&id=10052650&lng=en)

But surprise surprise none available.  bet they stopped production to sell just the shafts.

Replacement shaft was a GSP CVS.572  boot quality was comparable to the OEM. OEM is possibly slightly tougher.

Now, back to the technical stuff

Report is in.

It's retired from active duty, non salvageable in my opinion anyway.

The internals are worn and case hardening gone. I've tried to capture a paper towel with chrome speckles  or case hardening floating in amongst the little grease left which in effect is a quantity low enough to not be forced out.

Likely just getting this shaft out before it got really violent.

Right.

time to take a data dump,

i30 FD CRDi Auto RHS driveshaft

length 945mm (with inner joint compressed)

Inner Joint OEM

OEM inner kit

495352L401 ( Aus and Europe regions)

Aftermarket according to a UK site  :link: GSP 624061 Joint Kit, drive shaft - Reduced prices (https://www.motor-doctor.co.uk/products/10052650-joint-kit-drive-shaft)

GSP 624061

Data quoted:
Length [mm]: 148
Seal Diameter [mm]:  41
Int.teeth, diff.side, conn.to conn.shaft:    22
Outer teething differential side:  27

GSP Data can be found here:

Chinese site but that joint 624061 is being referenced to the 2011 onwards Elantra and i30 with 1800 Motor, , manual, NU. Right side


(https://preview.ibb.co/cWThop/GSP-snip1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/kzzYuU)

(https://preview.ibb.co/insKZU/models.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cOotuU)

From what I can deduce OEM for that is 495923X2A0


Inner joint is a tripod design

(https://image.ibb.co/kTZ58p/tripod.jpg) (https://imgbb.com/)

actual dimensions off the joint removed.

(https://image.ibb.co/cgWz19/inner-joint.jpg) (https://imgbb.com/)

L= 86mm
H = 62mm
overall length 148mm
C = 41mm (seal diameter)
A = 27 teeth spline to diff
B = 22 teeth spline , shaft to tripod

width of the seal portion shoulder 18mm

still looking but appears Korean market used different joints, nothing coming up on Koraps. Still researching hoping to find a reasonable part to refurb this .

I'm not sure we have that much room or time, however here a quick rundown.

2008 SLX auto -hail damaged,  230000Km - not original - KYB shocks, tyres, RHS driveshaft, windscreen, new ball joints(OEM), new front arm bushes(aftermarket), 2 x internal chrome handles (OEM), front rotors(aftermarket), pads, shitty Silverline repco, rear pads, leather steering wheel 2nd hand exchanged, 2011 FD-01 stereo installed, rear deck replaced(missing), steering rack (41000k exchanged), new OEM front sway bushes.

super smooth, quiet and good economy. original drivetrain

2008 SX manual - 390000km- turbo swap, alloys fitted, leather wheel and audio controls added, new OEM front arms, complete rear subframe and arms exchanged, kyb shocks as purchased, original drivetrain, front swaybar swap out and new OEM bushes,

smooth and quiet, motor a bit rattly in the chain area, most economical in the fleet


2010 i30CW SLX auto 213000km- complete interior swapout , complete drivetrain swapout from 41000Km donor, rear shocks eventually went and new KYB

Drives like a low K car but seems to be thirsty ( +1l / 100 on the others)and a bit of diesel rattle cold, runs well though.

2012 i30CW Sx auto - TBA - work completed awaiting clearance to be re-registered. Initial impression suggests it could be in the league of my SLX hatch. Motor is very quiet on start up and cold compared to the other wagon. expecting better economy and has U2 D4FB.

Maybe you could sell two to buy one of those. I agree, Trish's little 2014 Tourer still looks sharp. If it was a CRDi I might have pinched it for our next road trip.

Oh dear, to what distant point in the universe is this going to take us?

Contacted GSP AADI here in Brisbane to find they do not import the inner joint, GSP 624061

Extremely disappointed.

Can't you try and source one from a low mileage wreck?  :undecided:

Don't go bringing common sense into this Dazz. I like fixing things(economically). I should be able to replace the joint but the world is stopping me :rolleyes:

Nice blueing effect there, been a bit hot in there.
Grease won't last forever,  is cleaning & regreasing in the  service list ?.
That nice Honda Red grease should work well ,( guess )  :undecided:

Can't comment on the bluing really,could be part of the heat treatment process but the wear spots are clear.

Sealed for life normally. Maybe it wore then got hot and that forced the  grease out but from what i see the boot  is not a tight fit.

As for the grease I think it comes from the bowels of the earth. Wicked stuff
