Service Overview

All front-wheel drive cars have constant velocity (CV) joints on both ends of the drive shafts. Inner CV joints connect the drive shafts to the transmission, while the outer CV joints connect the drive shafts to the wheels. These are strong components built to withstand rough terrain, weather and everyday driving — but like any vehicle part, they are prone to breakdown, especially if not carefully maintained.

Each CV joint rotates at a constant speed, allowing your car's gearbox to transmit power at a variable angle. This reduces friction and play, which in turn increases your car's efficiency. Exposure to dirt and moisture is the main cause of CV joint failure: the joints corrode, and they become especially vulnerable when the CV boot tears or cracks.

A failing joint will cause a clunking or clicking sound when you turn your wheel, and the noise may also be evident when you accelerate or slow down. Replacement CV joint kits come complete with a CV boot, stainless bands, circlip, spindle nut, grease and the joint itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you turn the wheel sharply and the front end makes a clicking or banging noise as the vehicle moves, you almost certainly have a bad CV joint. You don't have to be an expert mechanic to spot the warning signs — catching them early helps you avoid costlier repairs.
  • Clicking or popping noise when turning, especially loud on sharp low-speed turns
  • Vibration in the steering wheel during acceleration
  • A humming noise that grows with acceleration and stops when you slow down
  • A clunk-type noise when accelerating — often more noticeable in reverse if the inner joint is at fault
  • Vibration at high speeds occurring alongside any of the above
If you notice any combination of these symptoms, have the joint inspected before it fails completely.
The CV boot is the protective rubber seal around the joint. It keeps grease in and dirt and moisture out. A torn or cracked boot is the most common route to CV joint failure — replacing a damaged boot promptly can save the joint itself.
Exposure to dirt and moisture is the main cause. Joints corrode once the protective boot is damaged, and aggressive driving can wear them down further. Regular check-ups and inspections keep them in good condition.

Important Service Facts

Found on Drive Shafts

Inner CV joints connect the drive shafts to the transmission; outer joints connect them to the wheels. They are mainly used on front-wheel drive vehicles.

Boots Protect the Joints

The rubber CV boot keeps grease in and contaminants out. Dirt and moisture exposure after a boot tears is the main cause of joint failure.

Don't Ignore the Clicking

A clicking noise on sharp, low-speed turns is the most noticeable sign of a worn joint. It gets louder as the joint wears — have it checked as soon as you hear it.
