Nissan Almera CV Joint Malaysia
Almera front-wheel-drive CV joints last 100,000–150,000 km with good boot condition. CV boot inspection at every major service — a torn boot allows grease to escape and dirt to enter, destroying the joint within 10,000–20,000 km. Clicking sound on full-lock turns = outer CV joint worn. Boot replacement. Full CV joint replacement. Malaysia: speed bumps and potholes accelerate boot wear.
Almera CV Joint & Driveshaft
- Inspect CV boot (rubber gaiter) every 20,000 km — torn boot leads to grease loss and CV failure
- Clicking sound when turning at low speed = worn CV joint
- Replace CV joint + boot assembly together — partial replacement leads to re-failure
- KL potholes and curb strikes are the main cause of premature boot splitting
