Fitment on a used propshaft varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the Peugeot 508 is a front-wheel-drive car in all its standard variants, which means it has no propshaft at all; drive goes directly from the gearbox to the front wheels via driveshafts. If you think you need a propshaft, you may actually be looking for a front driveshaft (also called a CV shaft or half-shaft), and a breaker can point you in the right direction once you describe the noise or fault you are experiencing.
It is almost certainly a mistake in the listing or a miscommunication, as the 508 has never been offered with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive in any generation or engine variant sold in the UK, so no propshaft was ever fitted. What you most likely need is a front driveshaft — there is one on each side (NS and OS), so make sure you know which side has failed before contacting a breaker.
No — the 508 SW estate shares the same front-wheel-drive layout as the saloon and fastback body styles across both generations, so none of them were fitted with a propshaft. The drivetrain configuration is the same regardless of body style, so if a listing mentions a 508 SW propshaft it should be questioned.
The 508 RXH used a hybrid setup where the rear axle was driven by an electric motor rather than a mechanical propshaft connected to the front engine, so it still did not use a conventional propshaft in the traditional sense. If you own an RXH and have a drivetrain fault, it is best to describe the exact symptom to a specialist breaker, as the rear drive components are quite different from a standard mechanical propshaft setup.
It is very common for the term to be used loosely, and on a front-wheel-drive car like the 508 your mechanic most likely means a front driveshaft, an intermediate shaft, or possibly a gearbox output component. Ask them to confirm the exact part name and which side it is on before approaching a breaker, so you can get an accurate quote for the right part.
