How to Determine if the Inner CV Joint is Lacking Lubrication?

[EmeryRose]

Methods to determine if the inner CV joint is lacking lubrication: When the inner CV joint lacks lubrication, it typically manifests as abnormal noises or jerking during sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving straight, especially on bumpy roads. The jerking becomes particularly noticeable during sudden acceleration or deceleration. Additionally, the vehicle may pull to one side while driving, and in severe cases, power transmission to the wheels may be interrupted. To diagnose, inspect the dust cover and lubrication condition of the inner CV joint, as well as check the working clearance of both inner and outer CV joints. The CV joint is part of the vehicle's drivetrain system and is divided into inner and outer CV joints. It is located on the car's chassis. The inner CV joint, outer CV joint, and drive shaft together form the half-shaft. Two half-shafts connect the wheels to the differential, transmitting power to move the vehicle. Since the position of the wheels changes during driving, the angle between the power output and input ends frequently varies, necessitating the use of CV joints to accommodate these changes.
