CV Axle Replacement at our Wauchula shop

Sometimes, and when we can we will. If the boot is freshly torn and the joint still feels tight and clean inside, reboot and repack is a real repair, not a shortcut. Once the joint has been running on grit it's already worn, and a new boot over a damaged joint just hides the problem for a while.

Usually, yes. Turning loads the outer joint on the outside of the corner, so a joint that's noisy turning left is typically the right side and the other way around. We confirm it on the lift before quoting so you're not paying for the wrong side.

Not out of nowhere. A clicking joint normally gets louder over weeks or months before it gives up, so you have some room to plan the repair. We'd rather you knew that than felt rushed into it, though a joint that has started clunking hard is one we'd want to handle soon.

The principle is identical, and all wheel drive vehicles have axles at the back too, which people often forget about. Rear boots tear the same way and get overlooked because nobody hears clicking from back there. We check all four when the vehicle is up.
