I just had my car serviced, would they check the CV axle for repair?

Hi,

When you indicate it was just serviced, what was done? As far as checking CV axle joints, if a visual inspection was done, chances are they inspected the boots to make sure there aren't damaged or leaking.

Are you having issues with a joint? If so, can you explain to me what is happening? The most common indication of a bad joint is a clicking sound when turning sharp. Here is a link that explains how the joint works:

Let me know.
