* clicking noise: when making a turn or when accelerating or decelerating, you may hear a clicking noise coming from the front of your car. This is a common sign of a worn CV joint.
* Vibration: If you feel a vibration in your steering wheel or floorboard while driving, it could be a sign of a bad CV joint.
* Greasy residue: If you see greasy residue on the inside of your tire or on the ground near the front of your car, it could be leaking from a bad CV joint.
* Difficulty turning: If you find that your car is more difficult to turn than usual, it could be caused by a bad CV joint that restricts the drive train from moving freely.
* Loose or broken boots: CV joints will have rubber boots that help to keep grease and dirt out of the joint. If the boot becomes damaged or torn, it can lead to the CV joint becoming contaminated and failing.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic. Driving with a bad CV joint can be dangerous as it can cause the wheel to detach from the car.
