The axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components of your vehicle play a vital role in its performance and drivability. The driveshaft, a cylindrical component made of steel or aluminum, connects the transmission to the rear differential. The CV joints, which connect the driveshaft to the transmission, transfer torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a consistent speed. Front wheel drive vehicles use CV joints on the front axles. CV joints allow the axle to bend and change, adapting to the bounce of the wheels. The axle supports the vehicle's weight and can withstand the forces produced by braking and accelerating. Over time, these components may need maintenance or replacement.
There are several signs that indicate when your vehicle needs an inspection of its front axle, rear axle, CV joints, and driveshaft components. If you hear clunking or clicking noises, it's likely that a CV joint needs replacement. Vibrations during acceleration could signal a damaged driveshaft or potentially an axle issue. Steering difficulties may also be a result of a driveshaft problem. CV joints can become faulty if the grease leaks out of a damaged CV boot. The lifespan of these components varies, but if you would like more information about repair intervals for front wheel drive axles, main driveshafts, CV joints, U-joints, yokes, and other axle assembly components, please get in touch with us.
