CV Boot Replacement
CV joints connect the transmission to the wheels & are a critical part of your vehicle’s drive axles. A CV boot houses & protects a CV joint by keeping out dirt, and other elements while keeping it lubricated. Meaning any splits in the CV boot will lead to a loss of lubrication causing metal on metal contact wearing down your CV joints rapidly. CV boot replacement will keep the CV joint properly lubricated to achieve a good transfer of motion from the transmission to the wheels. Overlooking routine inspections of the CV boot will lead to more expensive repairs over time. Contact us today!
CV Joint Replacement
When a CV joint loses lubrication, the moving metal parts rub one another & will degrade over time. Signs that a CV joint may require a replacement are noises, vibrations,& loss of acceleration. Without the proper amount of lubrication the internal CV joint parts will face excessive wear. If you notice a sign of a damaged CV joint and it’s not promptly replaced, the minor issue will cause more damage to your vehicle and lead to expensive repairs in the future. Replacing your damaged CV joint now is cheaper than the major repairs you will face if left untreated. Contact us today!

Your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components are critical to the performance and drive of your vehicle. Your vehicle’s driveshaft is a steel/aluminum cylindrical part that connects the transmission to the rear differential. The driveshaft is connected to the transmission through the CV joints, their job is transferring the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed. Front wheel drive vehicles use CV joints on the front axles. CV joints allow the axle to bend and change while accommodating the bounce of the wheels. The axle bears the weight of the vehicle while also being strong enough to sustain the forces from braking and accelerating. Over time and through normal use, your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components may require maintenance or replacement services.
