What are symptoms of a worn C/V Joint?

Grease accumulation on chassis components near the C/V Joint is an indication that the seal has broken on the boot. A clicking sound, which may be intermittent, is the most common sign as the bearings begin to erode the C/V Joint housing. Increased noise and vibration will be evident as the deterioration worsens. The most cost effective repair of a failed C/V Joint is replacement of the shaft assembly that includes both C/V Joints.
