CV Joint Problems: Clicking Noise and Other Warning Signs
The CV joint allows the drive shaft to transfer power to the wheels while accommodating suspension movement and steering angles.
A damaged CV joint can produce noticeable noise and vibration.
What Does a CV Joint Do?
A constant velocity joint allows rotational power to pass through the drive shaft while maintaining a consistent rotational speed.
This is particularly important for driven wheels that move with the suspension or steering system.
Common CV Joint Failure Symptoms
Clicking During Turns
A repetitive clicking or popping sound during tight turns is a common symptom associated with an outer CV joint problem.
Vibration During Acceleration
A worn inner CV joint may contribute to vibration during acceleration.
Grease Around the Wheel
A damaged CV boot can allow grease to escape.
Grease may appear around the inside of the wheel or suspension area.
Torn CV Boot
The protective boot prevents contamination and retains lubricant.
A torn boot allows dirt and moisture to enter the joint.
Should You Replace the CV Joint or Complete Drive Shaft?
The appropriate repair depends on the vehicle design and condition of the components.
If the joint is damaged but the drive shaft remains serviceable, a joint or boot repair may sometimes be possible.
A severely damaged assembly may require complete replacement.
What Causes CV Joint Failure?
Common causes include:
- Torn CV boot
- Loss of grease
- Dirt contamination
- Normal wear
- Excessive operating angles
- Impact damage
