Caloundra CV Joint Repair
That ticking or clicking sound when turning? It’s often the first warning your CV joint is on the way out. At Brittle’s Family Auto Centre, we provide reliable CV joint repair in Caloundra, helping you avoid bigger drivetrain damage down the track.
Our team inspects CV shafts, boots and joints for signs of wear, cracking or leakage. If caught early, we may just need to replace the boot and regrease the joint. If not, we’ll fully replace the damaged components using quality parts built to last. We work on front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and AWD vehicles.
Call (07) 5491 2251 to get your CV joints checked before that knock becomes a breakdown.
Tailored Repairs & Remanufacturing
Every vehicle has its own driving setup—and CV joint wear can show up in different ways. You might notice shuddering on take-off, vibration at higher speed when accelerating or clicking on corners at full lock. Even signs of grease splatter around the tyres can indicate that the CV joints need attention. That’s where our experience matters. We assess the full driveline, checking for split boots, damaged shafts or movement in the joints.
Whether you need a quick CV joint repair or remanufacturing, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and why. Our team works efficiently to keep you moving without pushing unnecessary repairs. If you’ve noticed strange sounds or drive issues, don’t ignore them—we’re here to help you stay safe and in control.
What causes CV joints to fail?
CV joints commonly fail due to a torn or leaking CV boot. When the boot is compromised, grease leaks out and contaminants like dirt and water get in, causing internal wear. Over time, this leads to metal-on-metal contact, resulting in grinding, clicking and joint failure. Other causes include aggressive driving, heavy loads and general wear and tear from high mileage without proper maintenance or inspections.
Is it safe to drive with a bad CV joint?
Driving with a bad CV joint is not safe. If the joint fails completely, it can cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels, leaving the car undrivable. In front-wheel drive vehicles, this failure can also affect steering and control. Continued driving with a noisy or damaged joint increases the risk of total failure and can also damage surrounding components, leading to more expensive repairs.
Are CV boots and CV joints the same thing?
CV boots and CV joints are closely related but not the same. The CV joint is the mechanical part that transfers power from the transmission to the wheels while allowing for steering and suspension movement. The CV boot is a rubber cover that seals the joint, keeping grease in and contaminants out. If the boot tears, the joint can become damaged over time due to dirt and moisture.
