What are the symptoms of a damaged Audi Q5 CV joint?

[SanEliana]

If the car's CV joint is damaged, there will be regular abnormal noises during normal steering or when driving over bumps. In severe cases, it may even lead to a loss of power. Introduction to the CV joint: The CV joint, also known as the constant velocity joint, connects the axle shaft to the wheel. It is 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. Methods to determine CV joint damage: You can intermittently accelerate and release the throttle to feel if there is any play in the front axle's CV joint. If the CV joint has excessive play, the front wheels may slightly shake during acceleration, and there will be a noticeable power transition when releasing the throttle.
