Mercedes-Benz GLC CV Joints Replacement Parts

Yes, CV joints are fitted to the GLC on all variants that drive the front wheels — so all 4MATIC (four-wheel-drive) models have CV joints on the front axle, and rear-drive shafts on those models also use CV joints at both ends. Even 2WD GLC models (where offered) have front CV joints as part of the front driveshaft arrangement. If you're hearing a clicking noise on full lock, a CV joint is a very likely culprit.

The first-generation GLC ran from 2015 to 2022, with a facelift in 2019, and the second-generation GLC arrived from 2023 onwards — these are substantially different platforms and CV joints are very unlikely to interchange between them. Within the first generation, pre- and post-facelift cars share the same basic platform, but whether a specific CV joint crosses the 2019 facelift boundary should be confirmed with the breaker against your exact registration. Always quote your reg when requesting a quote so the breaker can cross-reference the part number.

Larger or more powerful engines can put greater torque through the driveshafts, meaning the CV joint or driveshaft assembly may differ between, say, a GLC 220d and a GLC 63 AMG. It is worth specifying your engine variant — not just 'GLC' — when getting a quote from a breaker. Quoting your registration number is the most reliable way to ensure the breaker supplies the correct part.

Yes — the nearside (NS, left-hand side) and offside (OS, right-hand side) CV joints or driveshafts are handed and will not swap between sides. Always tell the breaker which side you need, and double-check by measuring or inspecting the failed joint before ordering. Getting this wrong is an easy mistake that will cost you time and return postage.

Trim level alone — Sport, AMG Line, or standard — does not affect CV joint fitment, as the driveshaft and joint specifications are determined by drivetrain layout (2WD or 4MATIC) and engine output rather than cosmetic or equipment grades. However, full AMG performance variants such as the GLC 43 and GLC 63 have significantly uprated drivetrains and will need joints specific to those models, so treat those as a separate engineering variant rather than just a trim level. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to be safe.

The 2019 facelift updated the GLC's styling and some equipment but the underlying platform and drivetrain remained closely related — however, whether a CV joint or driveshaft from a pre-2019 car directly fits a post-2019 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against both vehicles' registrations and part numbers. Do not assume they are interchangeable without that check, as subtle changes to hubs, spline counts, or shaft lengths can prevent fitment. A good breaker will cross-reference part numbers before supplying.
