What noise does a damaged inner CV joint make?
1 Answers
Noises caused by a damaged inner CV joint include: 1. A clicking sound from the transmission area when accelerating or driving on uneven roads, often accompanied by CV joint grease leakage. 2. In cases of severe damage, abnormal noises may also occur when turning the vehicle. Most CV joint failures produce clicking sounds primarily during acceleration, with rare occurrences during coasting. There are two common types of CV joints used in passenger vehicles: fixed-type CV joints, which allow only rotational movement between shafts without axial displacement during torque transmission; and plunging-type CV joints, which permit both rotational movement and axial displacement between shafts during torque transmission.
