CV Shafts & Boots
Our drivetrain specialists recommend that your CV Boots are inspected with every oil change as they can easily become torn or cracked. These tears and cracks will allow dirt into the joint and require both boots and joints to be replaced. If you hear a clicking noise while turning your car or truck, or perhaps a clunking noise, you need to get your vehicle serviced immediately before the problem gets worse.
Drive Shaft & U-Joints
Our drivetrain specialists recommend your drive shaft and U-Joints be inspected regularly for optimal performance and safe drive of your vehicle. Trucks and SUVs commonly have drive shaft slip joints requiring lubrication. If you hear a squeaking sound when you accelerate from a stop, you should come in to any of our two convenient locations and get your vehicle serviced as bad U-Joints can actually result in your drive shaft to separate from the vehicle.
Transfer Case
Our drivetrain specialists recommend that you have your transfer case checked whenever you have an oil change to make sure it is lubricated correctly to avoid having it need to be rebuilt. The majority of transfer cases require the change of fluid or oil regularly.
