If you’ve noticed clicking noises while turning or vibration in your front wheels, a worn CV joint could be the cause. CV (constant velocity) joints are critical for smooth steering and power transfer in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. At Milwaukee Transmissions, we provide CV joint repair for all makes and models, helping you drive safely and confidently.

When your joints start to fail, we’ll step in with expert diagnosis and service.

What Does a CV Joint Do for Your Car?

CV joints are flexible couplings that connect the axle to the wheels, allowing for smooth rotation. They allow power to be delivered while the wheels turn and move up and down with suspension. Most vehicles with front-wheel drive, AWD, or independent suspension use them.

Each axle has two CV joints, an inner and an outer, and they’re protected by rubber boots filled with grease. If the boot cracks or tears, dirt can get in, and the grease can leak out, leading to joint failure.

Signs Your CV Joint May Be Failing

Failing CV joints often start with subtle noises or sensations, then quickly get worse. Look out for:

  • Clicking or popping when turning
  • Grease splatter around the inside of the wheel or suspension
  • Vibration when accelerating
  • A loose or wobbly feeling while driving
  • Knocking noises from the front of the vehicle

These symptoms typically indicate that the joint is damaged or the protective boot has failed.

What We Do

We inspect the entire axle and joint system to determine whether the CV joint can be repaired or if replacement is needed. Depending on the condition, we may:

  • Replace the damaged CV boot and repack with grease
  • Install a new CV joint or full axle assembly
  • Inspect and tighten axle connections
  • Use manufacturer-approved parts for safety and performance

We’ll walk you through what we find and what the best long-term option is for your vehicle.
