Drive Axle Inspection & Repair
The drive axle is a load-bearing assembly that acts like a central shaft joining the wheels. The construction of your axle is designed differently for each vehicle. Trucks and off-road vehicles are equipped with axles that keep the wheel positions steady under heavy stress. Conventional axles on a care are constructed for the needs of the general consumer.
The vehicle's axle must bear the weight of your vehicle, passengers and cargo while handling acceleration forces between you and the ground. When it comes to axle inspection, we are your source for professional, knowledgeable service that is essential for the equipment that carries you and your family.
Axle and CV Joint
Typically found in modern front wheel drive vehicles, a drive axle is split between two half axles, with differential and universal joints between them. Each half axle is connected to the wheel by a third joint—the constant velocity joint. The CV joint helps the wheels to move freely.
The CV joint allows the shaft to rotate, transmitting power at a constant speed without a significant increase in friction and heat. CV joints are usually dependable, but, as is the case for all of your vehicle's moving equipment, they do require regular inspection and sometimes replacement. If you hear a clicking or cracking noise when making tight turns, you may have a worn joint, and it must be repaired immediately.
