First of all, power from the engine is transmitted to the front wheels via axle shafts. Each axle shaft assembly includes an inner
CV Joint, an outer CV joint, and an axle shaft. Next, the outer CV joint housings feature a splined stub axle that engages with the front hub. Regular inspection of the protective rubber boots is necessary to prevent dirt and moisture from damaging the CV joints. Damaged boots should be replaced promptly. Symptoms of worn or damaged CV joints include clicking noises during turns, clunks when accelerating, or vibrations at high speeds. Also, axle shafts should be checked for cracks and distortion.
