CV & Drive Axle – Jers Elite Auto

CV & Drive Axle Repair and Maintenance in Syracuse, Utah

At Jer’s Elite Auto, we specialize in CV (constant velocity) and drive axle repairs to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely. The CV joints and drive axles are critical components of your vehicle’s drivetrain, responsible for transferring power from the transmission to the wheels while allowing for smooth turning and suspension movement. When these components wear out or become damaged, they can lead to serious drivability issues and even complete failure. If you're experiencing unusual noises, vibrations, or difficulty turning, it may be time for a CV joint or drive axle inspection and repair. Our skilled technicians at Jer’s Elite Auto are ready to diagnose and fix any issues to ensure your vehicle remains safe and roadworthy.

What is a CV Joint?

A CV joint (constant velocity joint) is a critical part of a front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or some rear-wheel drive vehicles. It allows the wheels to receive power from the transmission while maintaining flexibility to accommodate steering and suspension movement. CV joints are protected by rubber boots filled with grease to keep them lubricated and free of contaminants.

What is a Drive Axle?

The drive axle is responsible for transmitting power from the transmission or differential to the wheels. It consists of shafts, bearings, and CV joints that work together to provide smooth and efficient power transfer. A failing drive axle can lead to a rough ride, loss of power to the wheels, and even a complete breakdown.

Signs of CV Joint and Drive Axle Problems

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s time to bring your vehicle to Jer’s Elite Auto for an inspection:

Clicking or popping sounds when turning – This is a common sign of a worn or damaged CV joint. If you hear a clicking noise while making turns, it’s likely that your CV joint is failing.
Vibrations while driving – A damaged CV joint or drive axle can cause excessive vibrations, especially at higher speeds.
Grease leaking from CV boots – If you notice grease leaking around your wheels or on the inside of your tires, your CV boot may be torn, which can lead to CV joint failure.

Difficulty turning or controlling the vehicle – If your car is hard to steer or feels unstable while driving, your drive axle may be compromised.
Clunking noises when shifting or accelerating – This could indicate worn or failing CV joints, U-joints, or axle shafts.
Car won’t move despite the engine running – A completely failed drive axle can prevent power from reaching the wheels, leaving your car inoperable.
