At Supercheap Auto, our CV joints are essential for addressing concerns such as clicking or grinding noises during cornering, excessive vibrations, or difficulties with steering in your vehicle. Commonly used in front wheel drive vehicles and some modern rear wheel drives, the CV joint allows for rotational torque to be preserved between two shafts that rotate at different angles. These are also crucial to the vehicle’s suspension system.
Typical parts of your CV joint that might need replacing are the joint itself or the CV boot, which shields the joint from dirt and dust. Fortunately, Supercheap Auto offers CV joint replacement kits containing all necessary parts, including the boot, to ensure your vehicle stays in top shape. Whether it's a complete drive shaft assembly or individual components, Supercheap Auto is your go-to destination for getting your vehicle back up and running smoothly with our SUPER range of products.
Unsure which CV joint will fit your car? No worries! Simply enter your car’s registration into the ‘My Garage’ tool on our website to see which products will fit your vehicle make and model. If you need additional guidance, visit your local Supercheap Auto store and one of our friendly team members will be able to assist you.
A CV joint, or constant velocity joint, is a critical component of a vehicle's drivetrain. It allows power to be transmitted smoothly from the transmission to the wheels while accommodating varying angles during steering. This ensures constant rotational speed and minimal vibration, enhancing overall driving performance and efficiency.
CV joints should be inspected regularly as part of routine vehicle maintenance, especially during tire rotations or when replacing brakes or suspension components.
In most cases, CV joints won’t be able to be repaired and should be replaced if these are worn or damaged. Attempting to repair a CV joint isn’t likely to provide a lasting solution and could compromise the safety and performance of the car.
It's recommended to replace both CV joints on an axle at the same time, even if only one is showing signs of wear or damage. This ensures balanced wear and optimal performance, preventing the need for future repairs.
