Hearing a Clicking Sound When You Turn?
That rhythmic “click-click-click” when turning isn’t just annoying—it’s your car’s way of saying it needs attention. Your CV joints and axles connect your wheels to the drivetrain, and when they start to fail, it affects how your car drives and feels.
What is a CV Joint and Why Does it Fail?
A CV (constant velocity) joint connects your drivetrain to your wheels and allows power to transfer smoothly through the full range of suspension movement. CV joints are protected by a rubber boot filled with grease — when that boot cracks or tears, the grease escapes, contaminants get in, and the joint wears out fast. Most CV joint failures start as a torn boot, which is a quick, inexpensive fix. Ignore it and you’re looking at a full axle replacement.
