First, check the "boots" around the CV joints. If they are leaking grease or cracked or you see evidence of grease that was thrown from the CV joint, replace it. You won't get any more service out of it. Second, if the joint makes a grinding or popping noise when you go around a corner, replace it. In front-wheel drive cars, a sure sign of worn CV joints is a loud rhythmic clunking or clicking sound that comes especially while turning tight circles. It is commonly said that sound while turning right indicates a problem in the left drive-shaft's joint and vice-versa though this is not always the case.

Can cv joints cause slippage?

Yes, CV (constant velocity) joints can cause slippage if they become worn or damaged. When CV joints fail, they may not transmit torque effectively, leading to a loss of power transfer from the engine to the wheels. This can result in symptoms such as clicking noises during turns, vibrations, or a feeling of slippage while accelerating. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn CV joints can help prevent these issues.
