Axle & CV Joint Repair & Replacement in Colorado Springs

Keeping Your Power Connected To The Road

The axles and Constant Velocity (CV) joints are the critical links that transfer power from your transmission to your wheels while allowing your suspension to move and your wheels to turn. In Colorado Springs, our axles face a “perfect storm” of wear: steep mountain grades put them under high torque, while road salt and extreme temperature swings can cause the protective rubber boots to crack. Once a boot fails, the specialized grease escapes and road grit enters, leading to rapid joint failure. We provide expert inspection and replacement services to ensure your drivetrain remains smooth, quiet, and reliable.

With over 50 years of combined experience, our technicians know that a “clicking” sound today can become a “stranded” situation tomorrow. We don’t just look for torn boots; we inspect the internal integrity of the joints and the balance of the axle shafts. Whether you drive a front-wheel-drive commuter, a high-performance European sports car, or a lifted 4×4, we use high-quality replacement axles that feature premium-grade boots and heavy-duty grease designed to withstand the rigors of Front Range driving.

Warning Signs Of Axle Or CV Joint Failure

CV joints usually give off very specific signals when they are beginning to wear out. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is time for a professional evaluation:

Clicking While Turning: A rhythmic “click-click-click” that gets louder and faster as you turn the steering wheel. This is the classic sign of a worn outer CV joint.

Grease On The Inside Of Your Wheels: Finding dark, thick grease splattered on the inside of your rims or on the suspension components—this means a CV boot has torn.

Vibration During Acceleration: A shuddering or “wobble” felt through the floorboards specifically when you are pulling away from a stop or climbing a hill.

Clunking When Shifting: Hearing a loud “clunk” when putting the car into gear or when quickly letting off the accelerator.

Tug On The Steering Wheel: If an axle is severely damaged, you may feel the car “pull” to one side during acceleration as power is unevenly distributed.

Humming Or Growling: While often associated with wheel bearings, a failing inner CV joint can produce a similar low-frequency noise.

I can't say enough good things about Big Mission Automotive. I wish every shop, dealer or otherwise operated like this. These guys know their stuff. They don't just rely on codes. This is old school mechanics in a very positive way. Steve is super friendly and knowledgeable. The staff themselves do great work. They give you options and explain in detail what service your vehicle needs or may need. They give you options. This is the first independent shop I know of that offers you a ride or even a loaner for the day. Just fantastic service. I feel very fortunate to have them so close to the house. They definitely have my business for my Porsche.

So glad that I gave Big Mission Auto a chance with my 80,000 mile check on my Audi Q5. They were efficient, offered to take me back home, and also resolved the yellow engine light on my dash. Great communication all day and a fair price for their services. Don’t get out of there without sampling some custom coffee from their commercial quality machine. I’m so glad to have found a local business to care for my car.

New to the area and was looking for a trustworthy local shop. Found them to be honest, helpful and very accommodating. I certainly plan on continuing to take both our vehicles here for future service.
