Tell me about my CV Joint Replacement
The CV (constant velocity) joint connects your vehicle’s driveshaft to the wheels, allowing smooth power transfer while turning and going over bumps. If a CV joint wears out or fails, it can cause loud clicking noises, vibrations, and even loss of drive. Replacing a faulty CV joint restores safe and smooth operation of your drivetrain.
What is a CV joint replacement?
CV joint replacement involves removing the worn or damaged joint (or axle assembly) and installing a new one. The new joint is packed with grease and protected by a CV boot to ensure durability and proper function.
Why do you need a CV joint replacement?
A failing CV joint can make your car unsafe to drive. If it completely fails, the wheel may stop receiving power, leaving the car immobile. Replacing the CV joint prevents further damage to the drivetrain and ensures reliable handling.
Common signs you need a CV joint replacement
- Clicking or popping noise when turning, especially at low speeds
- Vibration or shuddering when accelerating
- Grease leaking from a split or torn CV boot
- Clunking noises when shifting from drive to reverse
- Loss of drive if the joint has failed completely
What happens during a CV joint replacement?
A mechanic will:
- Inspect the CV joint, boot, and axle for damage
- Remove the driveshaft or axle to access the joint
- Replace the damaged CV joint or complete axle assembly
- Grease and secure the joint with a new CV boot and clamps
- Reinstall the axle and torque all components to specification
- Test drive the car to confirm smooth power delivery
How much does a CV joint replacement cost?
CV joint replacement typically costs $500–$900 for a single joint. If the entire axle needs replacing, the cost can range from $600–$1,200+, depending on the vehicle.
Is it unsafe to drive with a bad CV joint?
Yes. A failing CV joint can suddenly break, causing loss of drive to the wheels. This can leave you stranded or create dangerous situations if it happens while driving. Replacement should be carried out as soon as symptoms appear.
