Signs Your CV Axle Needs Attention

Clicking Noises
A clicking noise when turning, especially during sharp turns, is a classic sign of a worn or damaged CV joint. Ignoring this sound can lead to complete axle failure over time.

Grease on the Edge of the Tire
If you notice grease buildup on the inside edge of your tires or around the wheel well, it could mean the CV boot is torn. A damaged boot exposes the joint to dirt and moisture, causing faster wear and potential joint failure.

Vibrations While Driving
Worn CV axles can create noticeable vibrations that often worsen during acceleration. These vibrations can make driving uncomfortable and signal that the axle is weakening and may fail if not repaired.

Visible Wear or Damage
Any visible cracks, tears, or other damage on the CV joint or axle shaft should be inspected right away. Ignoring these signs can result in more expensive repairs or even unsafe driving conditions.
