These components are involved in the steering, driving, and braking of the vehicle, linking the power from the engine to the wheels. They carry the whole weight of the vehicle, plus passengers and cargo. If undamaged, these joints can last up to 100,000 miles. Because the CV axle is constantly rotating and flexing to accommodate different road conditions, it can wear out and fail, resulting in a costly CV joint repair.
