CV Joint Replacement
Your CV joints are an essential part of both your car's steering and wheel/tyre systems. CV is short for "Constant Velocity", and without them, your car will not function.
They connect the drive shafts to both your car's transmission and wheels, and due to how hard they work, they can wear down and break over time.
Make sure you get your CV Joints replaced immediately at the first sign of trouble. If they break down, many other parts of your car will get affected.
What is a CV joint?
The CV joints are joints that allow your steering wheel to turn your tyres in all directions. Located at the front towards the ends of both driveshafts, they connect your transmission to your wheel system.
It comprises two smaller joints, the outer and inner section, protected by a high-temperature friction-prevention grease encased in a highly flexible, plastic rubber CV boot. When the CV boot cracks, the vacuum seal is broken, spilling grease and causing all kinds of problems.

Four signs that your CV Joint needs replacement
1. Knocking noises
A knocking sound is usually the first sign of CV Joint trouble.
2. Vibrations
Driving a car with damaged or worn CV joints is similar to driving on rougher terrain, especially as you step on the accelerator.
3. Greasy wheels
This is a sure sign of damaged CV boots.
4. An uncomfortable ride
Unexplained vehicle instability is another sign that your CV Joints might require checking.

What is the Procedure for CV Joint Replacement?
The first step in CV joint replacement is to use special tools to remove the CV joint, so both sides are visible without twisting them.
It makes it easier to see cracks or broken CV Boots.
After inspection, you can decide whether to replace just the one damaged part of the joint (be it just the inner or outer joint) or both sides.
