Generall when your car's CV joints are gone you will hear a clunking noise coming from the front CV's usually when turning corners but may happen regularly when they are really bad. Generally what causes them to go is the boot is split which allows dirt in and destroys the joint. Stick your head under the car and if the boots around the joints are split....its time for new (or reconditioned) CV's
You will hear a clicking noise on turns
It is usually most noticeable when pulling out left or right from a stop sign. You will hear a clicking/clunking noise, increasing with the speed of the wheels and fading as the steering wheel returns to a centered position. This is made by the outer CV joints, as the most stresses are placed on them they tend to wear out faster.
If the flexible rubber boot around the CV joint is torn, and/or there is evidence of grease leakage present, they will rapidly wear without immediate maintenance.
I think you mean axle shaft joint. The usual symptom of a bad axle shaft joint is a crunching noise when turning corners.
apart from a visual check, leaking or split boots etc, the best way to get a CV joint to misbehave on demand is to drive on full locks from side to side. this puts the joint under maximum stress and will produce a knocking noise if faulty robb
1. Physically examine the rubber "boots" that cover the cv joints. If they are cracked or leaking grease and you haven't dealt with the problem IMMEDIATELY, the cv joints are probably bad.
2. When turning the wheel sharp, if the front end makes a clicking or banging noise when the vehicle moves you almost certainly have bad cv joints.
when you make right and left turns and a clicking noise is present or if when the car is jacked up the rubber boots on the cv joints are expose.
Clicking noises from the front wheel(s) while turning.
Also, inspect the CV joint rubber boots - if they're torn, you're almost guaranteed to have to ultimately replace the half-axel.
When my Taurus CV joint completely broke in half (because I didn't know about the symptomatic clicking noise!), it was in the parking lot of the repair shop! Good timing.
A (CV) Constant Velocity boot covers a precision power transfer joint. The broken "boot" allows contamination of the joint. Broken boot = early mechanical failure.
Sounds like a bad CV joint. On most cars, it is often more economical to replace the complete axle shaft on that side that has a bad cv joint. Hope this helps. Good-luck!
CV joint is a Constant Velocity Joint in all FWD cars and most 4WD cars. A cv joint makes your FWD car drive and turn without losing velocity.
I think you mean axle shaft joint. The usual symptom of a bad axle shaft joint is a crunching noise when turning corners.
On some cars, the abs sensors may read off of a tone ring on the cv joint.
Unbalanced tires, warped rotor, bad engine mount, bent drive shaft, bent wheel, bad wheel bearings, bad U-Joint or CV joint, or your car might have a rough idle.
Yes it does if the car is moving. Because the CV joint is part of the axil if the car is moving the bad CV joint will be moving too. or No it will not make noise if the car is in neutral and the car is not moving.
when you turn hard either way, it will make a loud clicking or popping noise
clicking when turning.
Bad CV joint.
If when turning you hear a clicking sound then it is likely a CV joint problem
I am trying to put CV joint into differential and i need to know how to make sure it is in.
The CV joint boot is bad, and needs to be replaced.
