Mitsubishi Galant Fortis CV Joint Malaysia
CV joints on the Galant Fortis are protected by rubber CV boots. The most common failure mode is a torn CV boot, which allows grease to escape and dirt to enter, accelerating joint wear. Listen for a clicking sound on full-lock turns — this is a classic symptom of a worn outer CV joint. On high-mileage units, inspect CV boots at every service. Replacing a torn boot early is far cheaper than replacing the entire CV axle after the joint has worn.
Galant Fortis CV Joint
- Front-wheel drive Galant Fortis: inspect CV boots every 40,000 km — cracked boots allow grease escape and water ingress
- On high-mileage cars: clicking on full-lock turns indicates worn CV joint — replace before complete failure
- Sporty driving accelerates CV joint wear — more frequent inspection for enthusiasts who push the car hard
