Axle and CV Joints Services at MCCJ Auto Group in Des Moines

Auto Repair & Service at MCCJ Auto Group

Your vehicle’s axles and CV (constant velocity) joints are essential for transferring power from the transmission to the wheels, ensuring smooth and stable driving. Over time, wear and tear, exposure to the elements, or road impacts can damage these components, leading to clunking noises, vibrations, or grease leaks. At MCCJ Auto Group, our certified technicians specialize in diagnosing and repairing axle and CV joint issues to restore your vehicle’s handling and safety.

If you hear clicking or clunking sounds when turning, or feel vibrations while driving, your axles or CV joints may need attention. Grease on the inner edges of your tires is another sign. Ignoring these issues is dangerous—if axles or CV joints fail, your wheels may stop rotating, which can lead to accidents.

Axles and CV Joints Explained:
These components bear your vehicle's weight and transfer power from the transmission to the wheels, allowing smooth turns and constant speed. Front-wheel drive vehicles rely heavily on them.

Common Causes of Damage:

  • Torn grease boots that cause leaks and joint wear.
  • Worn rollers or damaged bearings.

Symptoms of a Bad CV Joint or Axle:

  • Grease on tire edges
  • Clicking sounds when turning
  • Bouncy or rough driving
  • Steering wheel or car vibrations
  • Knocking noises

For safety and performance, visit MCCJ Auto Group in Des Moines for an inspection if you notice any of these signs.
