Mitsubishi Outlander CV Joint Service Malaysia
The Outlander's front CV joints transfer engine torque to the front wheels through the suspension range of motion. CV joint boots crack and split over time, allowing grease to escape and water and dirt to enter — this leads to rapid joint wear. Inspect the CV boots at each service; a split boot caught early means only a reboot is needed rather than full joint replacement. On S-AWC AWD variants, the rear driveshaft and rear coupling should also be inspected at high mileage for wear or leaks.
Outlander CV Joint Service
- AWD Outlander has front and rear driveshaft CV joints — inspect all boots every 40,000 km
- Front CV joint clicking during turns is most common symptom — addressing early prevents costly joint replacement
- Rear driveshaft boots on AWD: more prone to splitting from 4WD torque cycling — inspect more carefully than FWD cars
