CV
Joint & U-Joint Service
 We felt it was necessary to have a
separate page on CV & U-Joints. These items are so important to our vehicles today and must be inspected often. If a CV boot or a U-joint has failed and if detected in time, before further damage has
occurred, the repair cost will be much less.
If a CV axle or U-joint is needed, our parts have a lifetime warranty
and all of our repairs are backed with a one year 12,000 mile nationwide warranty.
CVJOINT
- Constant Velocity Joint
A
constant velocity joint is one that provides consistent velocity
regardless of the operating angle of the joint. This includes
Rzeppa, ball type joints and tripod joints. Constant
velocity joints because
of their unique ability to overcome some of the design limitations
of conventional Cardan style U-joints, have become a common
component on many of today's drivetrains. You'll find CV joints
used on many rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD)
vehicles as well as on all front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles.
U-JOINT
A Universal Joint, or
U-Joint is a
simple flexible coupling using a double yoke and four-point
center cross. U-joints produce uneven shaft velocity when
operated at joint angles of more than a few degrees. Because of
this, they are not well suited to FWD.
