Axles are a very important component which enables your vehicle to move. Basically, the job of the axle is to transfer power and torque to your wheels. As the axle turns, the wheels go around. There are two different types of axles, one being “drive” and the other being “dead.” The drive axle is the one that will move your vehicle and the dead axle is for load bearing purposes.
The damaged axle pictured above was the original one from a 2003 vehicle. It has a torn CV boot. Having a torn CV boot will allow the grease needed to lubricate the component to leak out. This type of damage can be a normal sign of wear where the whole axle needs to be replaced.
Having an issue with your axles should not be something you ignore. Drive axles are a very important part of your vehicle and need to be properly taken care of to keep you safe. It is also important to keep your vehicle in tip top shape so it is reliable for you.
In an older car, you could have more wear on your original parts. Just be on top of those maintenance jobs and you should be fine.
