If you're in Wilkesboro and your car needs cv axle replacement, you don't have to get it to a shop. We're a mobile mechanic based in Statesville, on the outer ring of our service area, about 45 minutes away, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around Downtown Wilkesboro every week.
Why Wilkesboro drivers book mobile cv axle replacement
Wilkesboro is the Wilkes County seat, up NC-16 through Taylorsville or NC-115 from Statesville. It's the northwest corner of our hour. That's exactly the situation mobile drivetrain work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.
What's included
A clicking or popping noise when turning, especially under power, is a worn constant-velocity joint. Usually the boot tore, the grease escaped, and the joint wore dry. We replace the complete axle shaft — cheaper and more reliable than re-booting — and torque the axle nut properly.
- Confirm which axle by road test and inspection
- Remove the wheel, brake, and axle nut
- Separate the lower ball joint or strut and pull the axle
- Install the new axle with a new seal if needed
- Torque the axle nut, refill transmission fluid if any was lost, road-test
Signs it's time
- Clicking or popping when turning
- Grease slung on the inside of the wheel
- Vibration under acceleration
- Clunk when shifting into gear
- Torn rubber boot visible behind the wheel
