Axle CV Joint Repairs
The Importance of Axle and CV Joint Repair
Your vehicles performance and drivability depend on the interplay of the vehicle’s axles, CV joints, and driveshaft components. In front-wheel drive vehicles, CV joints are used on the front axles. CV joints are flexible, so this allows the axles to move as they absorb the up and down motions of the wheels. The axles also carry the vehicle’s weight as well as keep the forces derived from braking and accelerating. As such, the normal wear and tear of the axles and CV joints require a visit to a car maintenance shop for inspection and/or replacements.
Benefits of Axle and CV Joint Repair
It is time to have your vehicle’s axles, CV joints, and driveshaft components checked for replacements when you notice any of these signs: clunking or clicking sounds; vibrations, especially when accelerating could signal a broken driveshaft, or a problem with the axle. A broken driveshaft may also lead to problems in turning and steering. Grease leaking out from a damaged CV boot is another sign of trouble that will affect the CV joints in due time. Bring your vehicle to our service center, or contact us at the first sign of malfunctioning or degrading axles, CV joints, driveshafts and other components.

frequently asked questions
What are CV joints, and why are they important?
Constant Velocity (CV) joints are integral parts of your vehicle’s drivetrain, particularly in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles. They allow the wheels to receive power while accommodating the up-and-down motion of the suspension. This flexibility is essential for smooth acceleration and turning. Over time, CV joints can wear out, leading to issues like clicking noises, vibrations, or grease leaks, which can affect vehicle handling and safety.
How do I know if my CV joints need repair?
Common signs that indicate a need for CV joint repair include hearing clicking or popping noises when turning, experiencing vibrations during acceleration, or noticing grease spots around the wheels. If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to have your vehicle inspected promptly to prevent further damage and ensure safe driving.
What does the repair process involve?
Repairing or replacing CV joints typically involves removing the damaged components, inspecting the axle shafts for wear, and installing new joints or axles as necessary. The process may vary depending on the extent of the damage and the specific vehicle model. Our experienced technicians ensure that the repair is performed efficiently and to the highest standards.
How long does a CV joint repair take?
The duration of a CV joint repair can vary based on the vehicle’s make and model, as well as the complexity of the repair. Generally, it may take a few hours. Our team strives to complete repairs promptly while ensuring quality workmanship.
Is CV joint repair covered under warranty?
Warranty coverage for CV joint repairs depends on your vehicle’s manufacturer and the terms of your warranty. It’s recommended to review your vehicle’s warranty details or consult with your dealership to understand the coverage specifics.
