What axles do
Axles connect your wheels to the car. Drive axles (axle shafts and CV axles) carry power from the transmission or differential to the wheels. Because they move, they need regular maintenance and care to stay in good condition.
Why they wear
Rough roads and potholes are hard on the chassis and suspension. If worn bearings are not replaced, they stop turning smoothly, parts begin grinding against each other, and if the problem gets serious enough, the axle may need replacing too.
Signs to watch for
A vehicle that shudders or shakes while driving may have a problem with a bearing, an axle, or another drivetrain part. Clicking or popping when turning often points to a worn CV joint, and grease flung from a torn CV boot is another sign.
How we catch it early
Our technicians perform a visual inspection that can reveal axle issues before they grow. If the problem is found early, cleaning and replacing the lubricant that keeps axles and bearings turning smoothly may be enough. If parts need replacing, it is best to take care of them soon to prevent more damage and keep the vehicle safe to drive.
Schedule an inspection
To find out what condition your axles are in, bring your vehicle to the Atlantic Ave, Long Beach Blvd, or Bellflower shop. We will explain what we find before any work begins.
Frequently asked questions
What does clicking when I turn mean?
Clicking or popping on turns often means a worn CV joint, commonly after a CV boot has torn and let the grease out.
Can I keep driving with a bad axle or bearing?
It is not a good idea. Worn parts can fail and cause more damage, so have it inspected soon.
