I am getting a creaking noise coming from my axle CV, as best I can assess, and was curious how these will fail? I took them apart and repacked them with grease, but hod little to no affect. Will the inner CV just disintegrate and I will no longer get power to the wheels, or will something more catastrophic occur? I am debating wether I should wait until the noise gets unbearable, or fix them ASAP? It does not seem to be getting any worse? Thanks

I broke one a couple of years ago. The little cage inside the joint broke in several pieces. I was accelerating on the Interstate when traffic was freeing-up, then, loud bang, no more power to the wheels, engine would just rev like the tranny was in neutral.
I was able to pull over to the shoulder of the highway, pulled out the trusty cell and called AAA. No huge drama. Michel |
