CV joint replacement in North Parramatta
CV joint replacement at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, is quoted in writing once the boots and joints are checked on the hoist: sometimes it is just the boot, sometimes the joint or the whole driveshaft. Clicking or knocking from the front when you turn sharply, louder under power, is the classic sign of a worn outer CV joint.
CV joints let the front wheels steer and move up and down while they are being driven. Each one is packed with grease and sealed inside a rubber boot.
More detail
The boot is the weak point. Once it splits, grease flings out and grit gets in, and the joint wears until it clicks on every tight turn. A torn boot found early can be replaced before the joint is damaged.
Whether you need a boot, a joint or a complete driveshaft depends on the wear and the car. We look on the hoist and quote the one that makes sense.

Can I drive with a clicking CV joint?
For a short time, but it gets worse. A joint left to wear can come apart, and then that wheel stops being driven. Book it in when the clicking starts.
Is the boot or the whole shaft cheaper?
A boot alone is the cheaper job if the joint is still good. Once the joint is worn, a complete shaft is often close in price to a joint and boot, and we quote whichever is better value.
Is it a CV joint or a wheel bearing?
A CV joint clicks on tight turns and under power. A wheel bearing hums or grinds, and the noise changes with speed rather than steering. A road test tells them apart.
What are the signs of a worn CV joint?
- Clicking when turning on full lock
- A knock when accelerating out of a corner
- Grease sprayed around the inside of the wheel
- A vibration that grows with speed
- A torn or split rubber boot
