The driveshaft, axle, and CV joint of your car are crucial to its handling and performance. A steel or aluminum tube called the driveshaft is used to transmit power from the transmission to the rear differential. It connects to the transmission through CV joints, which help deliver torque to the wheels smoothly. Front-wheel drive vehicles rely on CV joints in the front axles to allow movement while adjusting to road conditions. The axle supports the weight of your vehicle and withstands the forces of braking and acceleration. Over time, these components wear down and may require maintenance or replacement.
Watch for these warning signs that your car may need a vehicle inspection:
The lifespan of these components depends on driving conditions, preventative maintenance, and vehicle type. If you’re unsure about when to schedule a repair for axles, CV joints, driveshafts, U-joints, or other key parts, contact us today for expert advice.
