What does a bad CV joint sound like?

A rhythmic clicking during tight turns, often loudest in a parking lot, sometimes with vibration under acceleration.

Can just the boot be replaced?

Yes, if we catch it before the joint is contaminated. Once the joint is worn, the axle should be replaced.

Axle & CV Joint Repair · Victorville CA

Clicking in turns, vibration under acceleration or grease flung around the inside of a wheel all mean the axle or CV joint needs attention.

We inspect boots, joints and axle shafts and fix it before the joint comes apart.

A torn boot is the cheap stage of this repair. Once grit gets in and the grease gets out, the joint wears quickly and the whole axle needs replacing.

We check both inner and outer joints, the intermediate shaft and the transmission seal, since a leaking seal often shows up during the same job.
