CV JOINTS & AXLES

Front-wheel drive axles are built with CV, or Constant-Velocity, joints. These joints make it possible for the transmission to drive the front wheels, smoothly and reliably, by permitting a range of motion through the use of bearings. In short, CV axles make angles and axle movement possible.

In some situations. You might hear it when braking hard this usually happens when the inner CV joint is defective.

Below are the four most common symptoms of a bad CV axle; if you notice any of these problems, then we highly recommend that you seek service and repairs immediately.

1. VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING

2. GREASE ON THE INSIDE OR EDGE OF THE TIRES

3. A KNOCKING SOUND

4. "CLICKING" NOISES WHEN TURNING
