What happens when your CV axle goes bad?


  The CV axle shaft or constant velocity axle shaft transmits torque from the differential to the wheels helping to ensure a comfortable ride. Each axle shaft has a rubber boot that is filled with grease which can tear and leak, this is quite often the first sign of an axle beginning to fail. Once that boot tears dirt and road grime can get up to the axle starting the deterioration process, also the grease can spray in all directions causing problems with major components including brakes. Some of the other symptoms you will experience include the vehicle pulling to one side, and a clicking noise when turning or accelerating. In the worst-case scenario the axle breaks and the wheel will no longer turn, at that point vehicle will not move at all. Here at Elysian Auto Service, we see dozens of CV axle issues, it is something you can't ignore. We know the importance of this component, and that is why we check them during each digital inspection. If you have any questions or concerns contact us at 507-267-4435
