What is a CV joint?

Constant velocity (CV) joints sit at each end of the drive shafts and let the wheels receive power while they steer and move with the suspension. They’re packed with grease and sealed by a rubber boot. Once the boot splits, dirt gets in and the joint wears out fast.

Signs of CV joint or drive shaft problems

• Clicking or knocking when turning, especially at full lock
• Grease splattered inside the wheel or on suspension parts
• Vibration that increases with speed
• Clunk when taking off or changing gears
