CV Shaft Replacement

CV (Constant Velocity) shafts deliver power from the gearbox to the wheels. The flexible rubber boots that protect them split with age — and once the grease escapes, the joint wears out fast.

Signs You Need This Service

• A clicking or knocking sound when turning, especially at low speed
• A clunk when accelerating from a stop
• Vibration that gets worse with speed
• Grease sprayed inside the wheel arch or on the inner wheel
• A torn or split CV boot visible at the wheel

How The Handsome Mechanic Can Help

1. Visual inspection of both inner and outer CV boots, and the joints, on a hoist.
2. If the boot has split early, we can sometimes replace just the boot — saving you the cost of a full shaft.
3. If the joint is worn, we quote on a quality replacement CV shaft.
4. Fit the new shaft, top up the gearbox oil if disturbed, and road test for noise-free turns.
