Can you hear a clicking noise coming from the front end of your car or truck? In this video, Andy shows you how CV axles might begin to click, clank, or clack when they have problems! CV axles and driveshafts have an intricate set of moving parts that allow them to deliver power efficiently. But sometimes, the protective boot that covers the joint and contains the grease can get poked or ripped. When that happens, the joint can go dry, or get filled with dirt and sand, which can ruin the joint and make lots of nose!

Probably the happiest mechanic on UA-cam. Just loves his job.
My truck is just in the shop for new CV Axles & Hubs. I had a clicking turning hard left which escalated to a bad clucking.
The CV Axles were missing the rubber boots for two winters now.
Thanks for the informative video 👍
GOD! It is sooo much easier to work when using a lift. A jack and 2 or 4 jack stands can make the job so much harder. Thanks for sharing this.
I like the way you calmly explaining all the stuff about cv joints. Great video.
Great diagnosis scenarios, I used 1Aauto videos and parts to fix my 2000 Honda Odyssey and now going to fix up my 2009 Honda Civic CV, Struts and shocks once the weather gets better here.
As always a well done, informative vid. It's a good time for a wheel alignment, after installing an axle.
Always love your guys shows, I haven't done one of these yet, but I'm sure I'll be able to now, when I need to, for now I've a big, powerful battery powered impact wrench! Thanks Fella
What is the brand of your impact wrench? Bro?
This is the best online auto repair instruction I've seen. Very clear and easy to understand and see all the components. Nice job, thanks!
Great vid. I have installed cv shafts, never took one apart. Since I am in there, I change the axle seals (I wish there was just one axle seal design and one tool). Mainly because I don't want to go back in again. You make it look so easy. Anytime I go under a car, something is seized, strut bolts, shock bushings, the cv joint itself in the way of the break caliper bolts or hub bolts etc. 5hrs to change hub, CV axle, strut to coil over. Murphy always shows up @#$# shock bushings. Don't get me started on shock bushings. Saw you video on that too.
If you want to hate life itself, try doing a passenger side Sienna CV.
Hahaha, true
OMG you are not lying! I had to cut the thing in half with a special blade, then I had to remove the cv race housing and take a sledge to romove the center bearing.
@@hatsunemikufan4 ha! i just had to do the exact same thing in a Highlander AND use a heavy duty impact hammer.... spent 3 days with car on blocks trying to get that axle out each night after work... until I finally cut it in half
Why is it so hard? 😂😂
I just had our local garage replace both front axles in my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 within the last two months. Unfortunately, last Saturday I had a complete axle failure while on the highway 20 klicks from home. I was able to limp home and get the truck into the garage on Monday. We found out that the tripod joint had failed, and the failure had nothing to do with incorrect installation as I originally thought. A brand new axle failing.. interesting. Your video is very informative and helpful, thank you.
I'm truly impressed that you called that a simple job, haha...
It’s my first time here…great video.
Even I understood completely the job that was done….Not too bad for a girl that know nothing about cars.Thank you for this video.you are a great teacher
Very informative. Do you have or have you considered doing a video on a popping front end of an F150 ('13) once 4 wheel drive is engaged? Thanks for making repairs look easy.
I had a 85 ford Taurus with 150,000 miles on it and the cv axel was popping and clicking really bad but i couldn't afford to even buy a used axel so i tried something to see if it would keep it going a bit longer, i got a can of insulation foam and i filled the cv boot completely full of the foam and i let it dry over night, i ended up putting 150,000 more miles on that cv axel so it was original with now over 300,000 miles on it and it was still going with no noise, that insulation foam works really good by filling in all the loose areas and keeping the dirt out, give it a try and you will be amazed
Great video. It must be nice to work on a vehicle when everything isn't all rusted.
Enjoyed your video, I have clicking sound when I turn either right or left, I will be taking it to the shop because I live in a apartment complex, really no where to do the job but now I know....good feeling to know.
Great job. Very informative. Thank you.
If you get the clicking noise, don't put this repair off. Driving in this condition for a prolonged period can cause transmission damage, or it can leave you stranded, and damage other parts. My front differential snapped and I had to find a replacement for that. It could also cause a bad accident if it goes completely while driving at high speed. Also, spend a few bucks more for original equipment. I got Motorcraft replacements for about an additional $50 total. Do noth sides at the same time. Parts and labor for the half shafts and used front differential was about $1000. It probably would have been $2500 at the dealership.
Such an informative video, thank you! I seem to be getting intermittent clicking noise at higher speeds too as well as a humming noise when turning at very slow speeds especially when i have my foot on the brake to slow down at the same time as turning. Any ideas?
Very good & detailed demonstration. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for making this video.
I have the clicking noises right now, and this video just came on my suggestions! Coincidence?
Best video about CV joint /axis on youtube! 👍
I saw a video on the same subject and the CVJ in question had a tiny split in the boot with minimal grease depletion - there was still plenty inside the boot. A test drive showed no knocking. The problem had been noticed really early. However the garage still changed the drive shaft. They didnt answer my comment which questioned their decision to change the drive shaft. Wonder why?
Excellent demonstration. Thumbs up
On that style with the c clips, if you can get a chain wrapped behind it and tug straight it usually pops wright out. Only do one side at a time.
Can u also mention the causes and also if they are covered under warranty! Thanks for your work !
Nice...thanks for explaining it so well
Good job. I have a kia. Spectra doing the same. Thing. Only when turn. Should i change. Both bearing an axle..
thanks for the ultra pro demo video!
if you lift your car by the A arm you can simulate it holding its weight on the wheels and spin them freely while listening for clicking.
Hi, I have hamming/vibrating noise coming from passenger side, when I'm sitting in driver seat. It's like something is spinning in uneven way. Zero up to 100 km/h nothing. It starts at 100 km/h, peaks at 110 km/h and disappears at 130 km/h. That sound is definitely connected only to car speed and not to engine rpms. Its louder when pressing gas pedal/accelerating, but it does not disappear completely when not accelerating. Its not engine, because that sound is same when in neutral or any other gear. Its not unbalances tire or wheel. I tried many different wheels. Ball joints are perfectly firm. Sound does not change when braking. There is no play in wheel in any direction. I've already changed both sides bearings and inner transmission side axl homokinetic joint since I found this joint could cause this sound. No rubber boots were damaged. All looking good as new. I used high quality replacement and nothing helped. Axl itself looks perfectly fine. I also tried clicking test when turning full left, full right and accelerating. Nothing, there is no clicking sound. No I dont know, this sound started just like that 4 month ago and does not get better or worse. Still the same. I didnt hit pot hole or anything. I'm driving quality highways. My car is vw golf 6 with only 110 000 km in very good shape. Now I plan to change outer wheel side homokinetic joint, but I dont believe it will fix it. I will be glad for all ideas and suggestions.
Great info vid. My question is do u need a wheel alignment after u work in any part of ur suspension?
Greetings from Lagos Nigeria ❤
Awesome video!! Thanks a million.
*LIKE !!!* Presente en clases desde Navoyork Sonora México
Thanks alot for the video.
Thank you for that I had a mechanic today tell me it's not my cv but the boot was ripped when I baught the truck and now 2 months later it's starting to make a little noise at acelertion and 4 wheel front drive side time wearing inside of tire thingy it's my cv.?
Perfect video! Thank you sir!
Great job
good technical explanation of outer Axel CV joint issues # mostly out axel CV joint collapse & create problems #👍🇵🇰
Wow very informative video! Thank you!
Nice & in detail, pls keep it up..
Good Video, very informative.
Great job my brother😊
Interesting video thank you
Thank you!!
You can repair a split boot by filling it with grease using a plunger or a used hair dye bottle, then cleaning the outer surface of the boot around the split with a good solvent, and then applying a decent quality marine sealant like Aqua Seal or Sixaflex. That's the cheap fix.
can it also be a cv axle problem if the clicking happens during deceleration?
Would you guys have a camshaft position sensor pigtail/connector for 2015 charger sxt ?
How do you find vehicles that need work done to do videos? are they employees? under impression the garage is in same building as the warehouse and corp offices. another informative video
I like your video on this cv Joint
But I have an oil leakage from my car after changing the zeal on driver side on Rx300 what can I do
Just replaced mine today! Thanks for the video! The inner joint was a tough one to get out with only having the car on jack stands. But that was the only hiccup! Very easy and informative video
What truck is that you made it looking easy
Here is a fun question for A1 Auto's next Q and A video. What is your most sold part? IE wheel bearings, tie rod ends, etc.
If the boot is intact and there's no grease coming out but you have a small clicking noise but it only started after we did the front ball joints upper and lower and the rocker arm on a '99 Corolla what do you think that could be besides the CV axle I'm dumbfounded
Nice good job
thanks
Will the truck shutter slightly while turning on take offs only? Doesn't do it when straight. Feels almost like torque converter slipping.
i had a loose lug nut cluck before---good pointer
Any ideas for trucks that are 2wd, but still hearing clicking at the front end when backing up and turning?
I did all ball joints, and tie rod inners and outers, brakes, and swaybar links. I'm really scratching my head with this one.
Mines not on turns. But it goes with acceleration I KNOW I need to replace my front differential on my dodge ram though, as 4x4 during winter time is a "use only to get unstuck" situation.
I don’t feel confident replacing this part myself, what’s the cost and labor for replacing a cv axle?? I have a 2005 Tacoma with Rear wheel drive
Do we need to replace that cv joint if popping sound occured or it can be done by greasing only?
Cv axle control the brake and emergency brake, when cv axle bad , you'll notice when braking hard , then makes that clucking or cracking noice , it most likely it's the cv axle
good one
This video came up and tbh I’m glad I clicked on it
very informative video
+Nouman Mehmood Thanks for the feedback!
This video mostly showed the components of the joint more than how to properly remove and reinstall it
+Troy B Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
Do you have to replace all cv joints or just the one that’s having issues ?
Awesome
Good video
Good video. I also enjoyed the "curve mod" on your fender. :-D
I just replaced my driver’s side cv axle due to a clicking noise mainly on low speed right turns. I still hear the noise… what could the issue be? Bad axle? Wheel bearing?
I also need new sway bar end links bc they are blown, could that be it too?
Hey can the cv axle make noise also when my truck is going slowly or coming to a stop?
I have a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse LT all-wheel drive it makes a clunking noise when you take off and it quits making that noise once you get going. It shutters when your going up hills and taking off at a low speed. I got my transmission oil changed thinking it would help but still no help. Any suggestions
My 2001 Honda Accord right side was making all that noise. Of course I ignored it until the entire spindle came loose on a right turn. Needless to say, I'm uber sensitive to any and all sounds not normal now. Live and learn yeah? Beside, I do all my own work now and parts are ridiculously cheap for my car.
i have an 05 freestar,it makes that clicking noise only when i back and turn the wheel would this be the cv axle?
could u clean the bearings and cage, regrease and put back? instead of replacing ?
I just replaced passenger side cv axle, it is making a noise. Transmission goes through the gears just fine, no binding or hard shift, very smooth.
Any ideas?
What happens if it’s burns out again whether it’s a new one? And what if it still makes the clicking noises my car is doing it and I recently changed it but didn’t last long for the noise the come back again and I’m frustrated and don’t know what to do
My bmw E46 have same noise back left side. Is it posable it have same problem ?
What a good timing, I was doing my oil change and I noticed one of the boots on my axle is ripped and there is grease every where, I have no click it noises tho.
Nice video! Great for me since I am newly learning about car maintenance. Two questions:
1. What fluid systems does the grease leak from?
2. What should be done to make sure that the new axle is properly lubricated and that the fluid systems are maintained?
Replaced CV axles on a AWD jeep grand Cherokee. Still have clicking and popping sounds from front end. Any ideas?
Great video, just please lower the volume while editing when using that drill!
What if you have a rwd and don’t have front axles and you hear the same noises and symptoms as a broken cv axle what would it be?
Can you be needing Axel but the boot is not Ripped or does not have a hole?
HOLY CRAP YOU JUST REMINDED ME I DIDN’T TORQUE DOWN MY BOLTS ON MY CAR AT ALL AND I’VE BEEN DRIVING LIKE AN ASS SINCE I REFRESHED MY CONTROL ARMS
If I turn and having a popping like noise, would that be a CV axel problem as well?
Can a bad cv axle start moving in and out causing torque steer ?
Is it possible it just needs grease ?. I don't have a torn boot or grease around it
how long does it take to repair, and how much should someone expect to pay?
Does the clicking go away and come back? I'm getting the same sound but it's not every time I drive.
Remember to have the car realigned when removing any suspension parts. Thanks for the video.
I'm good with this guy
I’ve had to do one of those on my car now the cars pulling hard to the right. And don’t know why. Not alignment. And not any bushings. And it’s oem spec part.
I hear this noise but not only when turning even when I cruise in the straight line. I hear it constantly but I hear it after about 15 to 20 minutes of driving
Please do a video on starters!! Specifically for Chevy Silverado 2500hd 6.0 gas engine I have a feeling the fork inside starter that pushes the gear in and out has broken and causing my gear to move loosely and smack into the bindex when I’m driving around creating a weird tink tink sound
+Full🙃throttle We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
