1 Answers
The symptoms of a bad CV joint in a car include: 1. Regular clicking noises during normal turns or when driving over bumps; 2. Loss of power in severe cases; 3. Vehicle pulling to one side while driving. CV joints are divided into: inner CV joints and outer CV joints. The inner CV joint connects to the transmission differential, while the outer CV joint connects to the wheel. The outer CV joint plays a role in power output and vehicle turning. CV joints, also known as constant velocity joints, function to connect the axle shaft to the wheel. They are a crucial component in the car's drivetrain system, ensuring continuous power transmission to the wheels in any direction, especially when the wheels are bouncing.
