CV Axles
CV Axle Replacement Services
Your CV axle (or driveshaft) plays a crucial role in powering your vehicle. It transfers torque from the transmission to the wheels, allowing your car to drive smoothly—even when turning or driving over uneven roads. Most front-wheel-drive vehicles have two CV axles, and any vehicle with independent suspension will use them to help each wheel move up and down independently. Considering CV axles are always in motion and under constant stress, they can wear out over time. At Parkor Auto Care Tire Pros, we check your CV axles during routine maintenance and oil changes. We’ll only recommend replacement if we notice a clear issue, like a torn boot or leaking grease. Think your CV axle might need attention? Contact us today to schedule your appointment with our experienced team in Colorado Springs.
When Should I Replace My CV Axle?
One of the most common reasons for CV axle replacement is a torn or broken boot, which allows grease to leak out—often visibly. Other causes include excessive wear, rust, or physical damage to the axle itself. Common signs of a failing CV axle include:
- A clicking noise while accelerating through turns
- Clunking or clacking sounds when shifting between acceleration and deceleration
- Side-to-side shaking during acceleration
- Unusual vibrations while driving
Each of these symptoms can indicate a different point of failure in the CV axle. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s important to bring your vehicle in for inspection right away. The good news? In many cases, only one CV axle needs replacement, not both, saving you time and money. Trust the experts at Parkor Auto Care Tire Pros in Colorado Springs, CO to diagnose and repair your vehicle correctly the first time.
