Listen to what your UTV is saying

Clunking, crackling, and popping are the three noises that you don’t want to hear when you’re thinking about breaking axles on your UTV. You’ll know these especially well when you’re slowing down or taking a hard turn around the corner.

The first step is checking the boot for any leaking grease as these sounds come when you’ve lost all the grease in your CV joint. The best long-term solution will be to completely replace the CV joint, but can temporarily be solved with some grease in the boot.

Installation errors

Dangling axles are the result of the most common issue you can have with an axle that breaks. These are a direct result of installation errors. Simply don’t let your axles hang during installation and the entire issue is easily avoided.

If you don’t catch the leaking grease right away, you may be in trouble. Test out your new axles with slow rides and check the boot constantly. This can help you to catch the problem before it’s detrimental and breaks your axles entirely.
