- Your CV Axle connects your wheels to the transmission, which allows your car to drive. In other words, they're important. So it's even more important that you understand common CV Axle issues, and how to identify them. We're here to help you learn all about CV axles, and know when you're in need of a repair or replacement.

Thanks for the video. This helped me confirm that my outer CV joint needs to be replaced. Here are my symptoms: wheel vibrations (more noticeable on freeway) but wheel balance didn't fix it, a click/pop noise when wheels are fully turned left and I am making a hard stop, clicking noise during a sudden stop after coasting, and more road noise while coasting. When my inner joint went bad, I would get a wobble and wheel vibration on moderate to hard acceleration. If you have a Honda, don't use AutoZone axles. Go with Raxles, Insane Shafts, or OEM from salvage yard.

How do I order from raxles?
Bruce Bonebrake is the most badass name I have ever heard.
Michael Dunstan yeah, that's a good one
Bonebrake gon brake ya!

Honestly I think this is exactly what’s wrong with my girlfriends car . I just learned how to clean her mass airflow sensor for the first time 😃 and now I’m going to try to see if I can find out where the damage is with this video because every time we turn the steering wheel all the way it makes that popping/clicking sound like in your video . Thank you so much for this video bonebreak!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE AUTOZONE!! Thank you so much for breaking this down EVEN MORE because I plan on replacing my CV joint/axle/half shaft lol and with all the different names it was called I was getting turned around.
CV joint and CV axle is NOT the same thing. You can change just a joint and use old axle. CV axle and half-shaft is the same thing.
its straight to the point! he explain it very well! I am a lady and its hard for me to understand about car repair! GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you, AutoZone. You just put my mind at ease.
Little tip here. Just yesterday I installed front driver side cv axel from Autozone and the circlip on the trans side had an end gap too small and it was causing the shaft to not push into position. Took a while for me to figure out. I replaced it with the one off the original shaft and it popped in beautifully. That part was one of the Autozone
one of the best videos I seen for the clicking and vibration. Thanks.
I'm almost certain after hearing the vid my axles passenger side is damaged although nothing has split .. the sound is almost identical but without the turning . Thanks for this vid ✌✌
I know what to check , thanks to this Vid. Thank you so much !
Thank you! Find the problem finally.
Was really curious as to why the axle doesn't bend since the length of the axle changes when the wheel goes up and down. Now I know it's due to the "Plunge" joint. Many thanks
Hi great video and informative. I bought drive axle set for the front wheeldrive on my chevy avalanche just over a year ago. I checked them recently when the car was on axle stands (front wheels off floor). The axle shaft between inner and outer has some end play, is this normal? (Grabbed the shaft and it moves in and out a few millimeters).
remember ....get in the zone .... autozone
thnanks for information.
Amazing vid. Confirmed my problem.
2:40 to 2:55 really helped me figure out and know for sure what my problem is. I have the same exact symptons and sounds, and special ordered axles from autozone last night.
Thanks to this video, for helping me know my problem

This was helpful. Thanks.
4:15 You know, of all the DIY auto videos out there I've never seen the environmental component and I'm really glad it's included. Maybe it's just common sense but well done on this one!
Why is a new cv joint not moving ? I open it to check if something was wrong inside and when i put it back together it does'nt move.
Love the maintenance videos
Thanks for the tutorial.👍👍
This video was great.. exactly what I needed to know
beautiful name design jose
sometimes the boot never goes bad but the joint can still be completely wore out.
That what happen to mine Autozone CV joint 18 mo and about 14,000 wore out
@@ardeenwalters2472 what is the symptoms of bad cv joint sir?
@@guintoramcesv.9675 vibration and the car will squat or dip when changed from park, reverse drive etc
Well done
Very helpful and intelligent person
Nice video 👍🏼👏🏼
sir is it possible to buy the cover and put some grease in the joint? will it work for long term? and what type of grease do i have to use
Great job
Good advise
I bought a new axle from Autozone to replace my OEM on my Honda civic due to a tear on the inner CV boot.
Didn’t solve my problem.
I went from shaking at 70mph with the old axle to shaking at 20-30 mph with the new axle.
Good overview, thanks.
Very helpful
I used to own this DVD back in the day 2005
,Thanks for the nice videos
Thanks for being a fan, Nancy!
I bought a set of brand new duralast! cv axles for a 09 Ford Fusion and installed them. On the very first test drive turning left or right they vibrate viciously. So I returned them for another set and got the same problem than rebuild the factory shafts with ford parts and it's perfect. Just to be clear I have been certified for five years in manual transmission and axle and automatic transmissions. With all due respect Autozone's hard parts are garbage!!!
I was in a accident. My rim laid back to the back due to a bend spindle. I drove it home when I started it up the cv axle mate a pop sound and transmission fluid went everywhere. When a cv axle goes bad will it leak transmission fluid. Thank you
I like how the rest of the video has nothing to do with looking closer at the axel.
Exactly
Alrighty Bonebreaker, car on jack stands... now what.....Bruce? Bruce?!!
Thanks
I have a lowered car and have some grease leaking.
It's a 2006 Scion (Toyota) what type of grease can I repack it with?
My boot didnt fail it popped out the transmission end from the intermediate shaft
I replace my CV shaft on my 2007 hyundai santa fe and now it has a vibration that it didn't have before it only had a loud clicking and popping sound. What could be wrong? Is it possible I got a bad replacement axel?
Gold series.
Tank you
Second video that doesn't show RE ASSEMBLY, are you supposed to WHACK the end of the axle with a hammer? With this damage inside of trans or end of CV joint?
My only complaint with the autozone cv axles is they rust really fast, I recommend spraying with black spray paint before installing, might help a little.
Toad Phillips and
and switching to Geico can save you a bunch on car insurance.
andrew marshall IN YOUR FACE !!!
I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance! I put it in reverse and took off after I rear ended the guy! No pesky rate raise! Money in the bank.. in the bank...
Toad Phillips used a de-waxer
use plasti dip or other rubberized spray paint.
but if your going to use regular rattle can scuff for adhesion!!
Can it be a situation, when there is a clicking sound (accordingly malfunctioning of the CV Axle), but
the boots on it are good (not torn, no leak or anything). 2001 Saturn SL2: I can hear occasionally,
actually almost always on sharp turns, the clicking noise, but the boots on CV Axles are not torn, I
don't see any leaks, seems like everything is fine. I bought already a set of new CV Axles, the car has
over 100k, so anyway time to change them, but that is a question for me about that clicking noise
without any visual signs on the boots. In all the films on this subject everyone shows a combination of
torn boots and clicking sound. Thank you for informative film.
Is there any connect on bad CV for grinding sound while running at 60kms and above?
Should the inner joint have some up down play

I have had a Subaru forester 1997 (automatic) from new (approx. 70,000 miles on the clock), that has been great for all the years with very little to do other than annual services. However, recently I have had a lot of vibration & shuddering on the wheels when making tight turns (left or right) but never on the straight. It is difficult to identify which wheels the noise or shudder comes from and I don't feel much through the steering wheel. I have had all differentials replace that has reduced the frequency but not eliminated the problem. We hope it isn't the automatic gear box but has anyone got any ideas what to do next.
Hi. I am hearing this on my SUV that only has 30,000 miles on it. Is this something covered under bumper to bumper?
I'm looking for the electrical wires for the Volvo 85 and fuse box.
I'm thinking about lifting my Tacoma. Will lifting the truck affect the CV joint or any other component such as the steering?
ROFLgator lifting any vehicle changes the geometrical alignment of how the car was originally intended to drive. It puts added pressure on the ball joints, cv joints and other associated parts. Look into it bud. 👍
I lifted my blazer youll get that cv vibration right away good luck on the free way, i regret it outs your cv angle way out to lunch, get a real suspension lift that can keep the angles as proper as possible
3:49 use this tool ONLY if you gonna change those ball joints for new ones. The tool will tear boot, as you can see in the video, and sooner or later, you will have same problems like with torn boot on cv axle - grease will come out and dirt will come in leading to destroy of ball joint.
I dive a 04 G35x. I was removing the nut to remove the half shaft and the nut damaged the threads. I'm trying to remove theouter part of cv. What tools do I need to remove justthe out er cv part and install the new on my origin shaft. Thank you for your help
I that looks like the shaft I need, and you guys don't carry :-(
Which cars use cv joints of articulation angle greater than 40 degrees?
Man I just ripped my boot cause I leveled my truck but messed up one part that was an easy fix but I already ordered my new cv axles when I’ll I probably need to do was get the boot kit
I have to replace all four CV axles is just way to rusty and ocd kicked in 😔 I'll redue the entire front and back suspension except the rear back lower control arms they look like they in mint condition it's not iron so theres no rust.
I will upload a video on the car soon. 🚗
My problem is unknown, even Peugeot dealer didnt, they said engine rubbers which holds it to the car body, I changed all of them but still same.
car engine clicks when releasing foot of clutch pedal, specially if a bit fast, and even if sow, it fees and looked like whole engine tries to get out of car body, like its not tighten enough to it, even though its tightened well.
Some said its a bad tooth in tans axle! but they arent sure, some said gear! I am lost, any idea?
I got a 2003 Honda Civic which makes a cracking sound when doing tight corners. This week i noticed it very faintly virbating the car. Its not the steering, atleast i think, its really really soft. Also the steering pulls to the left very faint. I checked the CV joints but dont see any wear on the booth. I did see something which likes like dried oil with dirt. Ill let it check asap. I thought it was either this or bent tierods.
PS isnt easier to lift out the top ball joint leaving the bottom in or does that difference per brand per model? Ive seen different video why they pop the top one out so the wheel can rotate outwards and you popout the CV joint quite easy
My car is FWD, one of the axles messed up. Is it ok to replace with an AWD axle?
Arturo Garza no it will not work. You need to get exactly FWD cv axle. AWD cv axles could possibly have more components than you would need.
streeing can be locked ?
Hi I have a problem in my car of the type of Toyota avalon 2007 when you press the accelerator pedal car shaking but when you leave the accelerator pedal disappears can you help me
Did you fixed your car?
thank you my brother I need this done to my ( 2005 Camry ) how much you this cost ? he wants 80 labor for both sides ( and I buy the cv axle )
Just try to do it yourself. Next time you will pay 100 dollar labor with a smile, because then you will know, how hard is to replace it and how many tools it requires.
I have bought several New and Refurbished CV axles from autozone over the years. Once in a while you will get 1 that the inner Splines are not correct.
Be careful and make sure that they give you the correct one. Just because the part number on the box matches your part number does not mean that it will necessarily fit.
What about a grinding sound?
The noise that the truck is making is happening to me,on the driver side.but I changed my axle! Only the beginning of the noise not the ending!Anybody have any idea what it could be?
I got a 2001 GMC Sonoma and it was a 5" lift on it has been jacked up 8" and when I put it in 4x4the front axle comes out I got 33"tires on it
Are you using oem or aftermarket some kits require only using oem cause aftermarket runs shorter than oem cv axels
What do you do if you're sure this is what's wrong with your car but because it's not obvious for mechanics to hear it, they won't change it but you're nervous about not getting it fixed before it's too late because no mechanic wants to help unless it's obvious?
What can cause the front axles to go bad in a 4 year old car doing only 48,000 km??
Busted boot
I replaced the half Axel on my 2004 Chevy Silverado. now when I put the truck into 4wheel drive the truck pulls to the right.it pulls hard enough to make the truck almost drive off the road.why does it do this and how do I fix this problem?
Elise Davidson you need to have an alignment after this type of work. Tie rod ends directly effect alignment and in this case, you needed to remove them and reinstall them on the axel. This means your alignment is now slightly/way off.
thanks for viewing for how to replace axle cv joint
is it recommended to do both the cv joints at the same time? also what kind of cost
Hello just had my CV joints done both sides only cost me £60
@@davey4808
That's what? $120? Not possible. It cost $100 just for the axle I got at AutoZone. It only takes an hour to replace if you don't run into problems but shops charge $100+ an hour here. And they'd go by the book which is usually twice the time it actually takes. And they always double the price of any equipment they purchase. That's minimum $200 a side.
nothing is loose in the engine, timing belt was serviced at the garage when the problem was the same, so nothing changes, and engine mounts are also new,
thanks, I understand now what the problem is in my car (Luca from Italy)
I have a 2011 Kia Sorento and I found a split boot on my passenger side CV joint. The grease had been expelled from the outer boot, so I know I should replace it. But here's my question. I was in the process of diagnosing a wheel pull issue that led me to this discovery. I thought the problem was a worn strut or linkage component, but the CV issue was the only thing I found. Is a sloppy CV joint the reason my wheel pulls to the right on acceleration? I don't hear the classic clicking or vibration sounds for a bad CV joint. I do have a wheel pull issue though. Does this make sense? Anyone else experience this symptom as well?
It would be the inner cv axle to cause that
I have a 96 cavalier 4 speed automatic the right cv axle has no outer clip that holds it in what keeps it in the trans

Based on what he described looks like that is what is wrong with my car. I feel vibration by the passenger's side wheel during acceleration at 60-70 mph. already got my wheels balanced and wheel alignment and still have this vibration. If anyone can confirm that the CV joint is my issue, I'll take to the Mechanic right away and have it looked at and see if it needs replacement.
Shouldn't I get a alignment after wards
i have a scion tc 2005 and its making a clicking noise but not when im turning
any help would be great
josh acebedo did your axel got out yet?

Somebody please please help.....I have a 97 civic..when car is jacked up...passenger front tire spins freely...driver side has tension ...enough to where I can tighten a lug nut while it's still lifted ...why is this ?
Caliper locked up
After replacing cv axle I have a leak. Why?
Oopps... i think i need to get a new left side CV axel....for a VW...
One thing America do best !
how come there isn't a 2010 toyota Camry passenger cv axle replacement movie on you tube
Why am i watching this? I have no car :D
Just Rutland 👍😃
I’m getting my mom’s car
Same lol
mean you're not gonna have a car tomorrow
Lol that's a really good question.
Yea i am getting vibration on the left side when i go around a right corner. Looking into getting my joints repaired instead of replacing them with poor quality Taiwan made ones.
How come it always seems after I use the donut tire my CV joint starts to make noise?!
@ Scott Amaral...Donut tires are an insulting ripoff from the car industry...years ago the donut tire never existed...never drive fast or long on a donut...your donut tire is actually putting serious damage to the axle and the bearings inside...put a REGULAR TIRE ON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...your axle is probably ok
Look very easy ... is it so easy on my mercedes ?
Just got this done to my wife car
You're married to a car?
Louiness Paul what exactly was your car doing before you replaced the part? Im having terrible vibration when accelerating and when turning right it's 10x worse. Turning left is smooth and normal tho. I replaced both front wheel bearings with no luck.. any info would be much appreciated man i just dont wanna keep throwing parts on and burning money when it doesnt fix my problem
Ended up being the driver side cv axle, I replaced both just to be safe.
Whiteberg Slim Hey slim, how much was your final costs? Dealers inspected my vehicle and said both front axles need to be replaced and are asking for a grand total price of 1,350.00$ . Autozone says they only costs between 80-100 !! Appreciate your time.
Steve Wozniak?
loose hanging joint = bad?
Hi,
Can these be repaired, or must they always be replaced with a new one?
Thanks,
Ruben
It can be repaired but it’s better to replace the whole half shaft or cv axle
Where the rest of the video?
the cv axels they will satrt popping
making a woo woo woo chickonk sound
safety first? heck that inboard side couldve dropped on your forehead when you were trying to pry it
Auto zone has a very similar song to Nintendo 64 Game Crusin USA
im going to change my name to bruce bonebreak...awezome
Does anyone really go to the trouble of removing one of these CV axles and fix a torn boot? They are $50-$60 each. Put in a new one and be done with it.
Not all way Auto ZONE fail after 18 mo and 14,000 miles
@@ardeenwalters2472 I got 2 bad Calipers from NAPA the last 2 weeks. It's a pain trying to get good parts these days.
Even so, get a new rebuilt CV axle, don't fuss with the boot. It's to much time and trouble to go it there and fix a boot, put it back in only to have an old bearing to fail on you in a month. Fixing a boot is penny wise and pound foolish.
Not all $50-60. Mine are running a bit more, even the cheaps are $70-80 but yes, I am replacing the whole axle. It’s lasted 115k miles, I’d say it’s due. I’ll let the other side go as long as it sounds and feels fine.
