When a CV joint needs service
A CV joint lets the front axle turn at an angle while still delivering smooth rotation, which is why it is used on front drive shafts. When the joint wears, the usual sign is a clicking or popping noise when turning sharply, often with a grease-stained boot. Left alone, a worn joint can fail and leave the vehicle without drive to that wheel.
A repair kit replaces the internal parts of the joint, so it is useful when the outer shaft is still in good condition. Before buying a kit, inspect the boot and the splines for damage. Clean the joint thoroughly and use fresh grease when reassembling, since contamination is a common cause of early failure.
- Clean all old grease before reassembly
- Check the shaft splines for wear or damage
