Cv Axle Noise Going Straight
Funny thing is, i recently replaced that cv axle with a napa one.
Cv axle noise going straight. Noise mainly happens when i make left. A bad cv joint/axle shaft on the front will make a clicking noise when turning. A leaky boot will eventually lead to cv joint failure, as dirt and debris will get into the boot and damage the joint.
It sometimes also occurs when accelerating at slow speed just going straight.faster speeds are fine. The noise is either coming from the cv axle or the wheel bearing. I made sure the axle was mated fully to the transmission, so i know this isn't because the axle is not fully seated.
If you listen closely, you may be able to tell which side it's coming from. Well it never happens to me when im turning, only going straight. When the cv joint fails completely it will often lock up and you won't be able to steer the car.
I have had cv's wear out on a couple of cars and they never clicked when going in a straight line. This can reduce braking efficiency as well as create noise and possibly a burning odor. Essentially, this will break the axle, leaving you with a car that won’t go anywhere.
I feel it under the driver's side floor. There are three major bearing designs used in cars and trucks. A bad cv joint will exhibit a clunking noise as the transmission engages.
When the preload is lost, the bearing will make a low frequency grumble. This can be due to inadequate lubrication in either the inner or outer cv joint caused by a damaged or split boot. Can cause noise and horrible wobble.
