CV joints are a key part of your drive train system. To maintain their flexibility, they are heavily lubricated with a molybdenum disulfide grease and protected with a rubber boot. Both the lubricant and the boot are necessary for continued CV joint protection and function.

Most CV joint problems stem from loss of lubrication or wear of the rubber boot. Here are some of the common CV joint questions we get:

• “Why are there grease spots under my car?”
  It’s likely that the rubber boot protecting your CV joints has cracked or worn out. In most cases, the most cost-effective method of repair is to just replace the CV driveshaft as an assembly.
• “Why is there a clicking noise when I turn?”
  This is typically a sign of damage to the ball bearings inside your CV joint due to lack of lubrication or leaks. If this is the case, we might need to completely replace your driveshaft.

At the first sign of CV joint problems, you need to bring your car in. Neglecting CV joint repairs can lead to drive axle and CV joint failure, rendering your car undrivable.
