Axle, CV Joint & Driveshaft Repair

The axle, CV joint, and driveshaft are key components in your vehicle, crucial for optimal performance and smooth driving. The driveshaft, a cylindrical part made of steel or aluminum, links the transmission with the rear differential. It connects to the transmission via CV joints, which play a vital role in transmitting torque from the transmission to the drive wheels consistently. In front-wheel-drive cars, these CV joints are on the front axles, allowing for flexibility and movement to accommodate the wheels’ motion. The axle not only supports the vehicle’s weight but also withstands the stress of braking and acceleration. With regular usage, these parts – the axle, CV joint, and driveshaft – might need maintenance or replacement.

Benefits of Axle, CV Joint & Driveshaft Repair

Recognizing when to service these components is crucial. Symptoms such as clunking or clicking sounds can indicate a failing CV joint. If your car vibrates during acceleration, it could be a driveshaft issue, or in some cases, an axle problem, depending on your vehicle’s design. Problems with steering or turning can also stem from driveshaft issues. CV joints are at risk when grease escapes a damaged CV boot. The wear rate of these components varies based on several factors. To understand more about maintenance schedules for front-wheel-drive axles, primary driveshafts, CV joints, U-joints, yokes, and other parts of the axle assembly, feel free to reach out to us.
