Fitment questions
Does the Alfa Romeo 147 have a propshaft?
No — the Alfa Romeo 147 is a front-wheel-drive car across every engine and trim variant it was ever sold in, so it was never fitted with a propshaft at any point in its production run from 2000 to 2010. A propshaft is only found on rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the 147 is neither. If you think you have a driveshaft issue, you may be looking for a front driveshaft (also called a CV driveshaft or half-shaft), which transmits power from the gearbox to the front wheels.
I've been quoted a propshaft for my Alfa 147 — is that right?
It is almost certainly a mistake — the 147 has no propshaft because it drives through the front wheels only, with no rear-wheel or four-wheel-drive option ever offered on this model. What you most likely need is a front driveshaft or CV shaft, and it is worth going back to whoever quoted you to clarify exactly which part they mean. If you are chasing a vibration or clunking noise, a worn driveshaft, CV joint, or even a gearbox mount are the more likely culprits on a 147.
Could a 147 GTA have a propshaft given it has a bigger V6 engine?
No — even the high-performance 147 GTA, which used a 3.2-litre V6 engine, remained a front-wheel-drive car and was never available in a four-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive layout, so it still has no propshaft. The GTA did use uprated driveshafts and joints to cope with the extra power through the front wheels, so if you own a GTA and are having drivetrain issues, it is the front driveshafts and CV joints you should be asking a breaker about. Make sure you tell the breaker it is the GTA specifically, as the heavier-duty driveshaft components may differ from those on smaller-engined 147s.
What part should I actually be searching for if I thought I needed a 147 propshaft?
The part you are most likely looking for is a front driveshaft — sometimes listed by breakers as a CV shaft or half-shaft — which is the component that runs from the gearbox out to each front wheel on the 147. There are two of these, one on each side, so when contacting a breaker make sure you specify whether you need the nearside (NS, left-hand side as you sit in the car) or offside (OS, right-hand side) driveshaft. Giving the breaker your registration number will also help them confirm the correct part for your engine size and gearbox type.
