CV Shafts & Boots

At Jim Jennings Transmissions, we believe that the best medicine for a bad CV (constant velocity) joint is preventation. By the time you hear clicking and clunking or feel any vibrations, you may have an expensive repair on your hands.

The CV joint is the part of a vehicle's drivetrain that transfers torque at a constant speed to the wheels and accommodates the up and down motion of the suspension. It is encased by a protective rubber boot called a CV gaiter and is attached to the driveshaft. The area between the boot and the CV joint is packed with grease to allow for frequent movement. Cracks or fissures in the boot will let this lubricating grease out and contaminants in, and can cause serious damage to the CV joint inside. If caught in the early stages, all it will need is some grease and a new boot. Once you start to hear noises, however, you might have to replace the entire shaft. At Jim Jennings Transmissions, we recommend that you have your CV joints inspected at every oil change. If you do start to hear any noises or feel your car vibrating, bring it in right away.
