Q: Can I drive with a clicking CV joint? A: It is not recommended. A clicking CV joint indicates advanced wear and can break unexpectedly, causing loss of drive power or damaging surrounding suspension components.
Q: Can I drive with a noisy wheel bearing? A: No. A worn wheel bearing generates excessive heat and can seize up completely while driving, causing the wheel to lock or detach.
