CV Boots/Axles

Four-wheel-drive vehicles have become extremely successful over the years because they provide numerous advantages over a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. With front-wheel-drive you will experience better steering, better fuel economy with less weight, and better traction.

However, with the advantages, here are a few disadvantages. Unlike a conventional bearing, a constant velocity or (CV) bearing is covered by a flexible sealed boot to protect it from the elements as well as allow you to actually turn the wheel. Should this boot become ripped and contaminants allowed to enter, the life expectancy of the CV joint can be as little as eight hours.

If you should hear any unusual noises or see one of the boots ripped, bring it to Brake Specialists Plus for a free no-obligation inspection, and we will have you in and out, all in the same day.
