Mobile CV Joint Replacement at Your Home or Office
In every front-wheel drive vehicle, constant velocity joints, commonly known as CV joints, are present on both sides of the driving shafts. When these joints wear out, it's time for a CV joint replacement for your vehicle.
What is CV Joint Replacement?
Outer CV joints connect the driving shafts to the gearbox, while inner CV joints link these shafts to the vehicle's wheels. Many four-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive vehicles, and some trucks also utilize CV joints. The primary role of CV joints is to transfer torque from the gearbox to the wheels at a steady speed while accommodating the constant up-and-down movements of the suspension. These joints are lubricated by grease and shielded by specialized boots. If the boots degrade, grease leaks out, and contaminants like dirt and moisture can infiltrate, leading to CV joint damage. When this happens, your vehicle requires a CV joint replacement. When you contact MyMechanic Malaysia, we dispatch a mobile mechanic to your location, whether it's your home or office. After diagnosis, we provide a quote for your vehicle's CV joint replacement.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for CV Joint Replacement
The first sign that your vehicle may need a CV joint replacement is grease seeping out of a torn or cracked boot. Early intervention involves replacing the protective boots to prevent further damage. However, as the CV joint deteriorates, you'll notice dark grease splattered on the inside wheel rim and around the vehicle's drive shaft. Continuing to drive in this condition can lead to complete CV joint failure, rendering the vehicle inoperable. A failing inner CV joint causes shuddering or shaking during acceleration, and you may hear clunking noises when shifting between Drive and Reverse.
Can I Replace the CV Joint Myself?
Attempting to replace the CV joint boot or shaft requires a range of specialized tools. The lock-nut, or hub nut, is tightly secured and requires a breaker bar or strong torque MyMechanic Malaysia with the correct socket size to loosen. Removing the lower ball joint without proper equipment is extremely challenging. Additionally, you'll need to re-torque the hub nut after completing the job.
