CV axle Repairs
The CV axle normally connects the transmission to the wheel hub assembly. The CV axle is made up of the inner and outer joint assemblies, the inner and outer boots, and the axle shaft itself.
A Constant Velocity or CV Axle joint allows the engine power to be transmitted from the transmission to the wheels at a variety of different angles. Where a Universal or U-Joint only allows a driveline to flex up or down, the CV joint allows up, down, left, and right movements. Almost all axles that send power to the front wheels use CV joints. The CV joint is lubricated with heavy grease and is covered with a CV boot. When the boot is torn, the grease leaks out, and the CV joint overheats. This normally makes a loud clicking noise when the vehicle turns at low speeds.
