The Benefits Of CV Joint Servicing
Fixing worn CV joints early comes with a range of long-term benefits for your vehicle:
- Restores smooth, stable handling
Repaired joints eliminate shuddering or vibration while turning, helping your car handle predictably and safely. - Prevents total joint failure
Addressing wear or damage early stops the joint from breaking apart entirely—saving you from costly roadside emergencies. - Reduces tyre and suspension wear
A stable driveline reduces stress on tyres and suspension, preventing uneven wear and extending the life of these components. - Improves power delivery
With properly functioning joints, power is transferred more effectively from the engine to the wheels for smoother acceleration. - Supports overall drivetrain health
Servicing CV joints protects surrounding parts like axles, boots and bearings, helping avoid multiple repairs down the line.
What are the symptoms of a bad CV joint?
A bad CV joint often makes a clicking or popping noise when turning, especially at low speeds. Vibrations during acceleration, clunking sounds, or grease on the inside of your wheels are also signs. These symptoms typically point to worn joints or torn CV boots. If left unrepaired, a failing CV joint can lead to complete driveline failure, resulting in loss of power and potentially dangerous breakdowns.
Can a CV joint be repaired or does it need replacing?
CV joints can sometimes be repaired, particularly if the damage is limited to the protective boot. In such cases, cleaning, re-lubricating and replacing the boot may restore proper function. However, if the joint itself is worn, making noise or showing signs of metal wear, it usually needs replacing or remanufacturing. Leaving a damaged CV joint unrepaired can cause major driveline issues or leave the vehicle undriveable.
What does CV joint remanufacturing involve?
CV joint remanufacturing involves stripping the joint down to its components, thoroughly cleaning all parts, replacing worn components such as bearings or cages, and reassembling with new grease and seals. The joint is then tested for strength and function. This process is cost-effective, extends the life of existing parts, and provides similar performance to new joints while being more environmentally responsible than full replacement.
How long do CV joints last?
On average, CV joints last between 100,000 and 200,000 kilometres, though this varies depending on vehicle use and maintenance. Properly maintained joints can last longer, especially if the CV boots remain intact. Harsh road conditions, off-road driving or ignoring small issues like torn boots can shorten their lifespan significantly. Regular inspections and early repairs go a long way in extending the life of your CV joints.
