What Are Peugeot 308 Pinion Gear?
The pinion gear is the small drive gear that meshes with the crown wheel in the differential, or with the rack in a steering rack-and-pinion. On Peugeots both setups exist, and we diagnose the two by where the whine comes from when you steer or accelerate.

Common Questions About Peugeot 308 Pinion Gear
What are the symptoms of a worn pinion gear on a Peugeot?
A rising whine under acceleration that fades on overrun is the classic diff pinion sign. On the steering rack it shows as notchiness at the straight-ahead point. Both get worse under load and often appear together with oil weep.
How much does it cost to replace a Peugeot pinion gear?
A full rack-and-pinion replacement fitted sits at R8,000-R18,000 at an SA specialist. Diff pinion rebuilds run higher because setup is specialist work. Pro Peugeot Spares sources used racks and complete diffs, often cheaper than rebuilding.
Why does my Peugeot make a whining noise when accelerating?
Whining under load usually means a worn diff pinion-crown mesh or dry gearbox bearings. The pitch rises with road speed, not engine speed. A proper drivetrain workshop isolates the source by clutch-in tests and oil sampling.
Can you repair just the pinion gear or do you need the whole diff?
Specialist drivetrain shops can replace pinion and crown as a matched set, but the setup work on backlash and preload is skilled. On most Peugeots a used complete differential through Pro Peugeot Spares costs less than a rebuild.
Where can I buy a Peugeot pinion gear in South Africa?
Pro Peugeot Spares sources used racks and complete differentials for 207, 307, 308, 3008 and 508. AfricaBoyz, Interspares and Gears for Africa carry drivetrain parts. Get a free quote with your VIN and transmission code.
