CV Joints & Drive Shafts
A clicking noise when you turn sharply is the classic sign of a worn CV joint. We replace CV joints, boots and complete drive shafts, plus tail shafts and uni joints on rear-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles.
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

CV Joints & Drive Shafts – frequently asked questions
Can a split CV boot be fixed before the joint fails?
Yes. If it's caught early, we can replace the boot and repack the joint with fresh grease, which is much cheaper than a new drive shaft.
