Axle, CV Joint, and Driveshaft Repair at VIP Tire

We have all heard of getting our oil changed, rotating tires, wheel alignments, and brake pad replacements. However, taking care of your vehicle often involves taking it into your mechanic for maintenance and repairs that you may never have heard of before.

The axle, cv joints, and driveshaft are components of our cars that ensure stability and shock absorption while operating the vehicle. Continue reading to learn more about these components and the repairs and services we offer at VIP Tire to keep them working properly.

More About Axles, CV Joints, & Driveshafts

Your vehicle’s CV (constant velocity) joints, driveshaft, and axle components are vital to your vehicle's driving performance. The driveshaft transmits torque from the vehicle transmission to the wheel differential, or directly to the wheels, allowing them to move and operate efficiently.

The driveshaft is connected to the transmission via the CV joints, which are responsible for distributing torque from the transmission at a constant, steady rate. CV joints are on front and rear axles, and they allow the axles to bend and accommodate the bounce of the vehicle's wheels. The axle must be able to bear the mass of the car or truck and withstand the forces from braking and accelerating.

Over time, a vehicle’s CV joints, axle, and driveshaft components will require maintenance or even replacement.

Benefits of Axle, CV Joint, & Driveshaft Repair

There are signs that can indicate your axle, CV joints, or driveshaft may be in need of an inspection or repair. These can include clicking or clunking sounds, vibrations during acceleration, turning/steering issues, and more.

CV joints may require replacing when grease leaks out of a damaged CV boot, or after the car has been driven a certain number of miles. There are various ways to determine how quickly these vehicle components, as well as the axle and driveshaft, will degrade over time. If worn out components are not repaired or replaced, it will inevitably lead to further damage being done to other parts of your vehicle.
