Theoretically, but it's less likely than winning a major lottery jackpot. A bad brake caliper or hose is much more likely. If it _is_ the CV joint, buy me a lottery ticket, please.

How do you tell if you have a bad CV joint axle?
The usual symptoms are a knocking or loud clicking noise from the front of the car when cornering. The noise is not normally noticeable when driving straight. Check the CV boot (the rubber cover round the drive shaft nearest to the front wheel) this will very often be the cause of the failure if it is split.

If its a front wheel drive, your cv joint. Another likely cause could be loose lug nuts on your wheel.
In loader application in a 4WD TRACTOR I got a failure in front axle drive shaft. Failure happened in a plane 45 deg to axle line please suggest what can be the root cause?
i had my drive shaft twist off the u joint holders 2 times. i have a 4wd swinger loader. i think my ring and pinion gears in the front have slack. sometimes it sticks for a moment but drive shaft still turns until it twists off again. it works in 2 wheel drive for now ,but i will take chunk out for a rebuild later. i will get prices at some local shops in the spring to rebuild chunk. brian
