CV joint failure symptoms

Exposure to dirt and moisture is the main cause of CV joint failure. Such exposure will cause joints to corrode, and they become especially vulnerable when the CV boot tears or cracks. You can recognize a broken CV joint by a number of symptoms. The most common symptom is a cracking, clunking or ticking noise when accelerating or taking a sharp turn. To find out if it is actually your CV joint that is failing, you can do a little test. You can start off by driving in a circle on an abandoned parking lot. There is a good chance that you will hear a ticking sound. Next, steer your car into a straight line, the sound should now be gone. Another way is to inspect the part itself. To manually inspect the part, turn the wheel all the way to the left or right. This gives you the ability to have a proper look at the part. Do you see a broken CV boot, dirt and grease? Then you will have to replace the CV joint and de CV boot.

Replacing a CV joint

You can replace a worn CV joint yourself if you have some technical knowledge (intermediate level). Before replacing the car part, we recommend that you check the entire wheel suspension for play or wear. In some cases, there may be more going on. You can then choose to replace the entire driveshaft including CV joints. Before you are able to replace the CV joints, you will first have to remove some parts of your car's suspension. To do this properly, you will first have to jack up the car with a garage jack and support it with axle stands. Once you have jacked up your car and properly placed the axle supports, you can remove the front wheel and loosen the suspension. You also need to remove the brake discs and the ball joint. In some cases, you may have to remove the entire strut. If all goes well, you can now get to the CV joint and replace it.

CV joint replacement cost

How much the replacement of a CV joint costs, differs. The costs depend on, for example, the car make and model. If you replace the part yourself, you only have the costs of the part. If you have the CV joint replaced by your local garage, you also pay for the mechanic. How many hours they spend is difficult to say, but the cost can run up quite high. How easy the constant velocity joint is accessible also differs per car. Don't have the skills to replace the part yourself? Then order the part at Winparts and bring it to the garage to have it replaced. At a garage, you often pay more for the part than buying it online, so this way you?ll save at least some money.

CV joint

The name CV in ?CV joint? refers to constant velocity. The CV joint is part of the drive shaft of your car. There is one on both sides of the drive shaft. Each constant velocity joint rotates at a constant speed and in doing so, it allows your car?s gearbox to transmit power at a variable angle. This reduces friction and play, which increases your car?s efficiency. Over time the so-called homokinetic joint can wear due to intensive use. When this car part is worn, it needs to be replaced. You can order a new CV joint quickly and easily at Winparts. Just enter your number plate or select your car?s make and model and the suitable products for your car will be displayed.
