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. The technicians at Freestate Auto & Truck Service can check your boots during a service. Stop in during Mon-Fri: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed.
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 the expert
team at Freestate Auto & Truck Service and we'll confirm what's going on. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
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. If you spot a leak in that area, the trustworthy
team at Freestate Auto & Truck Service can confirm the source and reseal it before it causes bigger problems5f .
