The most common signs are heavy vibrations under acceleration or a persistent thumping noise from the front suspension. If the vibrations disappear when you lift off the accelerator, this is a strong indication that a drive shaft or an inner CV joint is worn.

A rhythmic clicking noise when taking sharp turns is almost always caused by a worn outer CV joint. This often happens because a CV boot has split, allowing the grease to escape and dirt to penetrate the joint.

Yes, if the constant velocity joint itself is otherwise in good condition, you can replace just the ABS ring. This is a cost-effective solution if the ring has cracked due to corrosion, which is common on older cars.

No, there are differences in dimensions and spline counts between the various engine options, for example between the four-cylinder models and the V6 versions. Always filter by your car's exact make, model and engine to find the right part.

The CV boot protects the precision-engineered components of the CV joint. If it splits, the joint is exposed to water and grit, which ruins the hardened surfaces very quickly. Replacing a boot in good time is considerably cheaper than replacing the complete joint.
