CV or Ball Joints
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 7:13 am
Can any one describe what are the signs of worn ball joints and worn CVs? Thanks
A very quick summary...
Ball joints - most obvious sign is a sloppy and vague steering ( above and beyond the norm for off road tyres ).
Worn CV's ( particularly the outers ) will generate a "tick tick" noise when you drive in a circle ( full lock ) related to wheel speed.
Of course there's other possible explanations so I'd be looking harder but that's a start.
