CV joint (ШРУС) damage diagnosis

Tags: #cv-joint · #noise

Symptom: clicking, crunching, or crackling noise during acceleration (1st–2nd gear, heavy throttle) under load, which disappears when coasting or in neutral once load is removed¹. Test: turn the steering wheel fully into a curve and accelerate — outer CV joint noise intensifies with steering angle. The inner CV joint typically causes vibration rather than clicking, so the two are distinguishable by symptom type². External (outer) ШРУС damage is more common than internal (inner) damage. Replacement parts are available; diagnosis requires physical inspection or observation during a test drive³.

For vibration cases, play in the drive shaft, boot repair and the intermediate shaft bearing see drive shaft vibration and CV joint repair⁴⁵.
