Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you experience any of the following symptoms, your CV axle may require inspection or replacement.
- Clicks when cornering: When the CV axle is worn excessively, the axle joints can loosen, causing a clicking sound during turns.
- Grease on the edge of the tire or under the vehicle: This indicates a torn or damaged CV boot, allowing grease to escape and contaminants to enter the joint.
- Excessive vibration when driving: Vehicle vibrates while driving and the steering wheel shakes. This can be a sign of a worn or unbalanced CV axle.
