Axles and CV Joints: Essential Components of Your Vehicle

At Pneus Bélisle, our team brings you more than 50 years of experience in diagnosing problems related to axles, CV axles, and CV joints. Count on professional, reliable, and attentive service to help keep your vehicle safe and in good condition.

CV axles and CV joints play an important role in transferring power to the wheels while allowing the steering and suspension to move properly.

A problem can cause several symptoms:

• clicking or knocking sounds when turning;
• vibrations during acceleration;
• unusual noises near the wheels;
• grease visible near a wheel;
• a cracked or damaged CV boot.

If you notice any of these signs, it is best to have your vehicle inspected promptly.

How Is an Axle or CV Joint Problem Diagnosed?

Our technicians inspect the CV axles, CV joints, boots, and axles for signs of wear or damage. A damaged CV boot can allow grease to leak out and accelerate joint wear. Depending on the problem, the CV boot, CV joint, or complete CV axle may need to be replaced.

Why Can a CV Axle Wear Out?

Over time and with mileage, these components can naturally wear out. Impacts, rough roads, or a torn CV boot can also speed up deterioration. If you suspect a problem with an axle or CV joint, the automotive experts at Pneus Bélisle can identify the cause and recommend the appropriate solution.
