How a CV Axle Works

CV Axles were once primarily used on front-wheel drive vehicles. Today, CV Axles are common on both front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles. The CV Axle assembly—the Axle shaft, CV joints, and CV boots—is designed to flexibly deliver power to the wheels for a seamless transfer of torque.

Located between the drive wheels, the CV Axle, along with the suspension system, compensates for irregularities in the road and transmits torque to the wheels while keeping them turning at a constant velocity. The CV Axle is attached to the wheels by CV joints.

The inner CV joints connect the transmission to the CV Axle while the outer CV joints connect the CV Axle to the wheels. A fully functional CV Axle assembly provides your vehicle with safety and stability while supporting passenger comfort through various speeds and driving conditions.

Signs and Symptoms of a Bad CV Axle

If the wheels on your car or truck hesitate or you feel resistance while turning, your CV Axle may have problems.

When looking for signs that your CV Axle needs to be replaced, keep in mind that many symptoms can point to other issues like unaligned wheels or uneven tread wear.

Why CV Axle Replacement Matters

The CV Axle assembly will wear out over time due to the nature of its flexibility and the extreme conditions endured by its components. Maintaining and replacing other components in your vehicle’s CV Axle assembly will keep your entire assembly working as intended and help prevent CV Axle replacements.

Driving with a damaged CV Axle will only worsen other components and lead to more expensive repairs down the road. At the first sign of trouble, contact us for a CV Axle replacement service.

Customer Testimonials

We stand by our work.

- The owner John is very knowledgeable and the whole staff is friendly. I came for an oil change and to have my tires serviced (rotation, alignment and balance) because I thought they needed it. John told me I didn't need service to my tires and they rode very well; no need to spend the money on a service that wasn't needed. We all know many establishments would try to push a service for a dollar so his honesty is appreciated. Reasonable pricing and great service. Highly recommend! Services: Tire rotations, Oil change

- I had slow leak from a nail puncture and I was told by another tire shop that run flat tires could not be fully patched. He said it would cost $75 for a temporary fix but he recommended replacing, so I bought another tire online. [...] Thomas did such great work that it was not a temp fix at all and basically let me know the other place did not know what they were talking about. I have had no issues with the tire and its been over 3 months. He also said the repair came with a lifetime warranty so this place is all good in my book. Highly recommend. Service: Tires
