How Much Does a Driveshaft (CV Shaft) Cost?
A worn or clicking driveshaft needs replacing. A Cranbourne West specialist explains the cost.
What drives the cost
Driveshaft (CV axle) cost depends on the car, which side, and whether a complete shaft or just a joint/boot is needed. A complete replacement shaft is often the practical choice when the joint is worn (clicking on turns); a split boot caught early can sometimes just be re-booted.
A wheel alignment isn’t usually needed, but access varies by car.
What the job involves
We confirm the worn shaft/joint (clicking on turns, or grease thrown around), replace it with a quality part, and road-test.
