Memphis Area Driveline Specialists

​

These components – axle replacement, CV joint replacement, and driveshaft repair – are vital to the drivability and performance of your vehicle.

 

CV joints connect by the driveshaft. Vehicles that are front-wheel drive use CV joints on the front axles. The CV joints allow the axle to change and bend while helping the bounce of the vehicle wheels. Through normal use, your vehicle’s axle, CV joints, and driveshaft components often require regular maintenance or replacement/repair services. Our drivetrain specialists are all ASE certified, so you’re in good hands!

What are the Most Common Signs of a bad Axle, CV Joint, or Driveshaft?
 

• Clicking or clunking noises are often a sign that a CV joint needs to be replaced.

• Vibrations during acceleration may indicate a damaged driveshaft, though they may also point to an axle issue depending on the layout of your vehicle.

• Turning and steering issues can arise due to driveshaft problems.

 

CV joints often go bad when grease leaks out of a damaged CV boot, leading to degrading over time. We service manual and automatic transmissions, both domestic and imports, along with high-performance transmissions, race car transmissions, and antique car transmissions.

​​

Can I still drive with a damaged CV joint or axle?

​

We do not recommended driving with a damaged CV joint or axle. A failing CV joint or axle can break while driving - this may cause the vehicle to lose power to the wheels or become unsafe to control. Getting a quick inspection (for free!! helps prevent a dangerous breakdown and avoids more expensive repairs.

Common FAQ's

​

1. How do I know if I need CV joint or axle repair in Memphis?

​

If you hear clicking noises while turning, feel vibration during acceleration, or notice grease around your wheels, you may need CV joint or axle repair. Memphis drivers often notice these problems after hitting potholes, railroad crossings, or rough roads around I-240, Germantown Parkway, or Summer Avenue. A damaged CV axle can affect steering, handling, and vehicle safety if ignored.

​

At Coleman Taylor Transmissions, we inspect axles, CV joints, boots, and driveline components to determine whether a repair or full replacement is needed.

​

• Steering vibration at higher speeds

 

2. How much does axle or CV joint replacement cost in Memphis, TN?

 

Axle and CV joint replacement costs in Memphis depend on the make and model of the vehicle, whether the issue involves the inner or outer CV joint, and whether one or both axles need replacement. In many cases, replacing a worn CV axle early can help prevent additional suspension or transmission damage.

Drivers in Memphis, Bartlett, Germantown, Cordova, and Southaven often search for affordable axle repair when experiencing vibration, popping noises, or steering issues. A professional inspection can identify the exact cause before repairs begin.

3. Can I drive with a bad CV joint or damaged axle?

 

Driving with a bad CV joint or damaged axle is risky and can lead to complete axle failure. Many Memphis drivers first notice symptoms like clicking while turning, vibration on the highway, or a knocking sound when accelerating. These warning signs usually get worse over time.

 

If a CV joint fails completely, the vehicle may lose power to the wheels and become unsafe to drive. Memphis-area drivers dealing with axle problems should have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible, especially before long drives or heavy stop-and-go traffic on I-40 or I-55.

 

Coleman Taylor Transmissions provides axle inspections, CV joint replacement, and driveline repair services for many domestic and import vehicles throughout the Memphis area.

​

The funny thing about car trouble is the noises always sound mildly judgmental. Like the axle isn’t broken, it’s disappointed in your life choices. “click click click.” Very passive aggressive machinery. :)
