This table covers the complete CV axle shafts from differential (or hub) to wheel. Typical signs include a click in tight turns, grease flung around the wheel well, or a vibration that builds with speed. A torn boot caught early is a boot kit; caught late it is the whole axle. Torque the axle nut to the method in the notes.

Buying Drivetrain Parts for a 2016 Buick Encore

On this vehicle, the drivetrain system moves power from transmission to wheels through axles, CV joints, driveshafts, differentials and wheel-end hardware.
