Go to the repair shop to check if the chassis components are not securely fastened. Introduction to outer CV joint: The constant velocity joint, commonly known as the CV joint, is divided into inner and outer CV joints. A steel shaft connects the inner and outer CV joints, collectively called the driveshaft. As the name suggests, it is a rotating shaft that transmits power and ensures equal speed transmission during steering. Its faults can be identified by sudden acceleration and turning maneuvers. Lifespan of outer CV joint: It can last over 200,000 kilometers. However, if the dust cover of the outer CV joint is damaged during vehicle maintenance, allowing large amounts of dust to enter the joint while driving, its lifespan may be reduced to just a few months. Therefore, it is essential to regularly inspect the CV joint dust cover for damage.
