CV Replace Advanced Field For Free

CV joints and boots can be replaced individually, but most professional technicians and even do-it-yourselfers prefer to replace the whole halfshaft assembly with a remanufactured shaft.On a high-mileage vehicle with a bad CV joint or boot, it's often a good idea to replace both shafts at the same time.

CV (constant-velocity) axles, (also known as half-shafts), are used in front-wheel drive vehicles to transfer the engine's power from the transaxle to the two drive wheels.A CV axle has two CV joints (an inner joint and an outer joint).

A CV joint itself can cost between $95 and $210. Hiring a mechanic to perform a replacement will be between $165 and $800. The price mainly depends on whether you're replacing a double or single axle.

A severely worn out CV joint can even disintegrate while you're driving and make the car undrivable. You may lose control of the vehicle entirely. It is not safe to drive with a damaged CV joint. Look for some symptoms of a failing CV joint to have it repaired before it becomes unsafe to operate the vehicle.

"Clicking" Noises When Turning. A Knocking Sound. Grease on the Inside or Edge of the Tires. The CV axle joint has boots that contain grease while the axle spins, keeping it from leaking. Vibration While Driving. This is a tricky one, since there are many things that could cause vibration when you drive.

If a CV joint begins to fail while driving, your car will start to pull to one side as one wheel loses power. When the joint breaks completely its corresponding wheel will no longer turn and although the engine may still run, the car won't move.
