What are the symptoms of a damaged CV joint?

[Peterson]

The symptoms of a damaged CV joint in a car are: abnormal noises or jerking during use. Here is relevant information: 1. CV joint classification: CV joints in cars are divided into inner CV joints and outer CV joints. To assess the condition of a CV joint, it is recommended to shake the CV joint by hand to feel the clearance. 2. Method for judging wear: Generally, the inside of a CV joint fits tightly with almost no clearance. If a significant clearance is felt, it indicates severe wear of the CV joint, which needs to be replaced. The inner CV joint connects to the transmission differential, while the outer CV joint connects to the wheel. Whether during power output or vehicle turning, the outer CV joint plays a role. A car CV joint typically consists of a bell-shaped housing, tripod bearing steel balls, a dust cover, a retaining ring, and grease.
