How much do CV joints cost in South Africa?

The reason why it can cost up to R2000 to replace a CV joint boot at your nearest mechanic is mostly due to the intensity of the labor that’s required. Masterparts offers high-quality CV joints for most makes and models of vehicles in South Africa.

Are all CV joints the same?

There are two types of CV Joints. The Cardinal, which is usually found in heavy trucks and four-wheel drive vehicles, and rzeppa CV joints are found on most front-wheel drive vehicles.

Besides just holding the drive shaft in place, the CV joints also transfer power to the wheels from the transmission.

How many years do CV joints last?

CV axle boots last for quite some time (80,000 miles) and are not items needing periodic replacement. But you absolutely should inspect them at least once a year, or even more often on cars with high mileage.

They are most affected by prolonged off-road driving or heavy use in transportation-industry conditions.

What causes a CV joint to fail?

One of the most prevalent CV joint issues is when the protective boot breaks or cracks, resulting in CV joint failure.

Debris and dampness will enter the CV joint as grease leaks. Due to a lack of lubrication and corrosion, the CV joint will wear out faster and fail.
