Every vehicle is equipped with a mechanism for transferring engine power to the wheels. The majority of modern passenger automobiles use this system, which calls for the use of two or more constant velocity (CV) axles, with the exception of the majority of two-wheel-drive pickup trucks.
A CV axle will be defined and its workings are described in this article. We’ll focus on the common warning indications that such a system needs to be changed and discuss the associated costs.
What Is A CV Axle?
A CV axle is the last shaft in a series of driveline parts that distributes power to the wheels. If your automobile has independent front and/or rear suspension and all-wheel drive, axles with constant velocity (CV) joints, also known as half shafts, are frequently utilised at all four wheels (AWD).
