The Purpose of a CV Axle

The CV axle helps the suspension work better on your car. As the wheels go up and down over bumps the CV axle keeps the power constant to both wheels so the movement stays the same. The most common problem is when the boot breaks and the grease leaks. When the grease is gone it loses its lubrication and that will wear out the CV joint fast. We recommend knowing the signs of a faulty CV axle and promptly getting service at the first sign of a problem.

Signs Your CV Axle May Be Faulty.

A common sign there is a problem is a clicking noise when you go around a curve. It can also cause the vehicle to shake when you accelerate. CV axles will not normally go bad suddenly. This can lead to a false sense that there is no problem even when symptoms start showing up. CV axles tend to worsen progressively with a clicking noise or shaky driving experience signaling that an immobilized vehicle is right around the corner.

When It Is Time to Schedule Replacement.

Failing to attend to a faulty CV axle will make it worse and could lead to even more expensive repairs in the long run. If you catch the problem very early, it may not cost much to get it fixed. Eventually, the axle will break, and if that happens your car will not go anywhere. In extreme cases, you could have an accident if the axle breaks while you are driving.
