What does the rubber boot on my axle do?
It protects the CV joint, and that makes it a bigger deal than it looks.
The boot seals grease around the joint and keeps dirt and water out, so when it tears, the joint quickly wears down and can turn a cheap fix into a full axle replacement. Our technicians at Harvey's Garage can check your boots during a service.
Why does my car click when I turn?
A clicking sound when turning is a classic sign of a worn CV joint on your axle.
The clicking usually gets louder on sharper turns and often means the joint has lost its grease, frequently from a torn boot. It will not fix itself, so it is worth having looked at before the joint fails completely. Bring it to our expert
team at Harvey's Garage and we'll confirm what's going on.
What are the signs of a leaking axle seal?
The most common sign is a small puddle or greasy film near a wheel or where the axle meets the differential or transmission.
A failing axle seal lets fluid escape and lets contaminants in, which over time can damage the bearing or joint nearby. Our trustworthy
team at Harvey's Garage can confirm the source and reseal it before it causes bigger problems.
