The tell tale sounds of the beginning of a problem are all too familiar with many motorists. You are taking a turn and the loud popping and rattling sound is heard. This is a sure indicator that the CV joints are about to give in. Once this sound is heard. It is time to have joints replaced. While replacing them, be sure to check the other supporting components around them for looseness or cracks. In most cases, the rubber surrounding them will also need to be replaced. If the boot rubbers are damaged or have cracks. It exposes your bearings and other moving parts to a lot of dirt. This is normally carried by the grease or other form of lubrication that one uses.

It will also serve you well to check the quantity and quality of grease that is present. It will serve as an indicator of the level of damage on the motor vehicle. At this point, bearings must also be checked for wear. This is a very likely scenario if there are cracks or the cover around the joint is broken. A good mechanic will advise you to check everything including the axles. This will save you time and money. The cost of redoing the job again to replace something else is completely eliminated.
