Toyota landcruise jeep. Comericial. CV joint issue.

Mar 22, 2006 1 Replies

Hi I recently purchased a 2001 Toyota landcruise jeep (Ireland). It currenyly has 50000 miles on the clock. It had very little of road use. I have notced a knocking sound from the front wheels of the jeep and since dicovered it's probably the CV joints which need to be replaced. Is it normal for CV joints to be replaced on a jeep with only 50000 miles on the clock. The jeep is still covered my garage, and is due to be serviced within a few weeks. Will I have to pay for the new parts?



Thanks in advance



50,000 miles does seem a bit premature for CV joints to be replaced. Rather than taking the vehicle to the shop and asking for the CV joints to be replaced, I would go on a road test with someone from the shop and let them diagnose the noise. It could something as simple as strut/shock absorber mounts or rack ends.

Whether or nor you will have to pay for the new parts depends on the warranty on your vehicle.
