The CV axle is a crucial drivetrain component positioned between the drive wheels. Its primary function is to deliver smooth and consistent power to the wheels, ensuring optimal performance across different road conditions. CV axles are connected to the wheels via CV joints, which allow for flexibility and maintain a constant velocity while transmitting power. The inner CV joints link the transmission to the CV axle, while the outer CV joints connect the CV axle to the wheels. Together, the CV axle assembly—comprising the axle shaft, CV joints, and CV boots—ensures that torque is effectively transferred to the wheels, even when the axle is at an angle. Initially found primarily in front-wheel-drive vehicles, CV axles are now commonly used in rear-wheel-drive vehicles as well.
Identifying CV axle issues early can help prevent costly repairs or potential breakdowns. Signs of a failing CV axle include:
Our comprehensive CV axle inspection not only examines the axle itself but also assesses the CV joints and CV boots for wear and damage. Since these components work together as part of a single system, ensuring they are all in good condition is essential for maintaining vehicle performance and safety.
