The Dodge 4x4 axle assembly is part of the drive train process, helping to carry the power produced by the engine to the drive wheels, giving them the ability to propel your vehicle. Holding such vital components as the CV joints and the axle shafts, the axle assembly is crucial to the proper operation of your vehicle. The torque power of the engine is carried to the axle assembly through the transmission, which receives the power of the engine through the engine crankshaft.
This transfer of power should be a smooth one if all is well in the axle assembly, without excess noise and vibration. If there is a grinding or clicking sound as you steer around the curves and corners in your vehicle, these sounds can be an indication of trouble with the Dodge 4x4 axle assembly, perhaps excess wear in the CV joints. The CV joints are critical parts of the axle assembly, and are quite vulnerable to failure if not protected from the elements and road dirt and debris.
Each of the CV joints is equipped with a CV boot to protect it against contamination and keep it well lubricated as it operates. These boots can fail, and require replacement periodically to ensure efficient power transfer to the drive wheels. A harsh jerk upon acceleration, often accompanied by a clunking noise can also be a sign of trouble brewing in the axle assembly.
