What are the sounds of inner CV joint damage?
1 Answers
When the inner CV joint of a car is damaged, it will produce a clicking sound, and the symptoms are as follows: 1. The main symptom is the jamming of the steel balls, which will cause a clicking sound, but this must occur when changing direction. 2. Another scenario is the shattering of the steel balls, where the engine's power cannot be transmitted to the wheels, and the inner and outer CV joints slip. This is usually caused by the destruction of the CV joint boot and the lack of lubricating oil. 3. When the outer CV joint of a car is damaged, a clicking sound will occur when the car turns. Below are the functions of the CV joint in a car: (1) The function of the CV joint in a car is to connect the drive shaft to the wheels, making it a very crucial component in the car's transmission system. (2) It allows the driving force to be continuously transmitted to the wheels in any direction, especially when the wheels are bumpy, where its effect is most significant. (3) The inner CV joint connects to the transmission transfer case, while the outer CV joint connects to the wheels. Whether it's power output or when the car turns, generally, it is the outer CV joint that plays the main role.
