What are CV Joints?
The Constant Velocity Joints are pivot points on your axles and should last a long time, often 80,000 miles or more. You have two joints on each axle, an inner and an outer. When the joint goes bad, the most common symptom will be a clicking or popping sound as you turn a sharp corner. T Most of the time, the initial cause of a bad CV joint is from a CV boot that has gotten hard and cracked. Since the outer CV boot flexes more on most cars than the inside one, usually it is the outer joint that goes bad. It is not safe to ignore your CV boots and joints. A bad joint can seize, or even cause the drive-shaft to drop out of the car, causing loss of control.
