How the CV Joint Works
The purpose of the CV joint is to distribute engine torque into the wheels from the transmission. When CV joints are in good condition, the drive wheels travel at a constant speed. The joints also help with handling as they work moving up and down given the terrain. Given the constant stress that these joints handle, they are prone to wear and tear. They can last the entire life of a Toyota; however, they have a protective boot that if damaged, will allow grease to leak out. Without lubricating grease, the CV joint will face friction and imminent damage. Inspection is vital because it will detect a worn boot before it causes damage. At Rolling Hills Toyota, we proudly provide CV joint inspection and replacement service at our Service Department in St. Joseph, MO near Elwood, KS, and Savannah, MO.
