Several signs can indicate when it's time to schedule an inspection of your car's front axle, rear axle, CV joints, and driveshaft components. A clunking or clicking noise is a sign that a CV joint repair is needed. Vibrations during acceleration could point to a damaged driveshaft, but they could also suggest an axle issue, depending on your vehicle's design. Problems with turning and steering could also stem from a damaged driveshaft. CV joints can deteriorate when the grease leaks out of a damaged CV boot. Several factors determine how quickly these components will wear out over time.
The components described above are part of your car’s driveline and are vital for its smooth operation and drivability. The driveshaft is a cylindrical component, typically made of steel or aluminum, that links the transmission to the rear differential. The connection to the transmission is facilitated by the CV joints, which transmit the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a steady speed. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, CV joints are located on the front axles. They enable the axle to flex and adjust while managing the wheel's bounce. The axle carries the car's weight and is strong enough to handle the forces generated by braking and accelerating. With regular use and over time, these components may need maintenance or replacement.
