What Causes CV Joint Click Sounds?

  • Worn CV Joint: Over time, the CV joint can wear out due to friction and lack of lubrication.
  • Boot Tear: A damaged boot can allow dirt and moisture to enter, leading to joint failure.
  • Improper Installation: If the CV joint was not installed correctly, it may cause clicking noises during turns.

How to Identify Boot Tear vs Joint Failure?

Identifying whether the issue is a boot tear or a joint failure can be done through careful inspection:

  • Check for grease around the wheels; a torn boot will often leak grease.
  • Listen for the clicking noise; it typically gets louder during tight turns if the joint is failing.
  • Inspect the boot for any visible cracks or tears.
