The Dodge pickup axle assembly performs the final step in the process that carries the power produced in the engine to the drive wheels, giving them the ability to propel your vehicle. The axle assembly is made up of such essential drive train components as the axle shafts, the constant velocity or CV joints, and the CV boots. The torque power of the engine is transmitted to the axle assembly by the transmission, which receives it via the engine crankshaft.

The axle assembly then sends this power to the drive wheels, allowing the vehicle to move. This transfer of power to the drive wheels should be very smooth, imperceptible as you drive.

If you begin to feel a harsh jerk or hear noises as you accelerate, chances are that there is a problem developing in the Dodge Pickup axle assembly. Quite often, a problem with the axle assembly has its roots in the CV joint, as it is sensitive to contamination to dirt and debris and the effects of the elements and road salt. The CV boots are designed to shield the CV joints from such punishment, enclosing them in a protective rubber boot that is packed with heavy grease to keep the CV joint well lubricated as it functions. The CV boots need regular inspection to check for failure, as they can tear when hit by road debris or become brittle and crack open from exposure to road salt.
