Clicking, grinding or severe vibration? A damaged axle or failing CV joint can become a safety concern. Schedule inspection promptly if symptoms are getting worse.
CV JOINT & BOOT GUIDANCE

A Torn Boot Can Become a Joint Failure.

CV boots keep grease inside the joint and help block dirt and moisture. When a boot tears, grease can escape and contamination can enter.

Catching a damaged boot early may reduce the chance of accelerated joint wear. Once the joint is clicking or binding, axle or CV joint replacement may be needed depending on condition.

01Grease LeakLook for grease around the inside of the wheel or suspension area.
02Clicking on TurnsRepeated clicking often points to outer CV joint wear.
03VibrationAxle shaft, inner CV joint or other drivetrain concerns may be involved.
