How long can you drive the car after cv joints start clicking?

The clicking sound from a CV joint is an early warning sign that the joint is starting to fail. Once you hear this sound, it is important to have the CV joint inspected and repaired as soon as possible. If you continue to drive the car with a clicking CV joint, the joint will eventually fail completely, which could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

As a general rule of thumb, you should not drive more than 50 miles with a clicking CV joint. If the clicking is accompanied by other symptoms, such as a vibration, loss of power, or difficulty turning, you should stop driving the vehicle immediately and have it towed to a repair shop.

Here are the average costs of CV joint repair based on car type:

- Small car: $150-$300

- Medium car: $200-$400

- Large car: $250-$500

- SUV: $300-$600

The cost of CV joint repair can vary depending on the labor rates in your area, the type of vehicle you drive, and the extent of the damage to the CV joint.
