If you have a used car that has had this replaced in it or you just had it replaced yourself, you may have got a poor-quality CV joints. These lower-quality joints may only be good for 50, miles or less. That gives you the range of how long you can expect these things to last but if you don't know exactly where yours came from then it may be harder to pin down what you can expect to get out of it. Any part on a car also has the potential to be subject to unanticipated design flaws, so these numbers are just general rules to go by.
It's possible that your CV joint could last much longer, especially with routine maintenance and careful driving. It's also possible that an unforeseen and unpredictable problem could greatly reduce the lifespan as well. It saves you time and effort that way. And you don't need to worry about it later on. If one of them fails, there's really no need to replace the other one if it's still in good working condition.
As you can see it's a fairly costly repair, and the part is meant to last for quite a while. So, if you still have a good number of miles but you're able to drive there's no need to waste time and money by removing a perfectly good car part like a CV joint just to replace it with another one. There's no harm in having a mechanic take a look at the second joint if they're repairing a broken CV joint but it should really only be to confirm that it still is in fact in good working order.
Obviously if it's not then replace both but if it's fine then you may as well leave it as it is. You may also experience some steering issues, although this is more likely to be a driveshaft issue. This is indicative of a leaking boot, and will require repair urgently. Losing power to the wheels can be a serious issue, so if you notice any of these symptoms you should look to take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible.
The main way of saving money on CV joint repair is to simply replace the half shaft itself, rather than having fairly intricate repairs done on the joint itself. You can shop around online and in person to get the best possible quote from the garages in your local area, so taking the time to compare estimates can save you money. The first table shows costs for a singe axle replacement, which will be for one wheel either at the front or the rear of the vehicle.
The second shows the cost for double axle repair, which again can be for either the front or the rear of the car. For those with 4 wheel drive vehicles, expect to pay close to double to have all four axle shafts replaced — luckily this is a fairly rare occurrence, as the costs can add up quickly!

Social studies. Ben Davis February 2, How much should a CV joint replacement cost? In the last few years, there is much better availability for new aftermarket axles on many vehicles. On most CV axles, there is an axle seal at the juncture where it slides into the body of transmission. But the seal is easy to damage during installation and is usually pretty insignificant in cost, especially when compared to the cost of a double axle joint replacement.
Often, a wheel alignment will be recommended after the axle replacement. There is a general rule that if any part of the suspension between the wheels is removed or replaced, the alignment should be checked. On most vehicles, to replace an axle, you have to disconnect a lower ball joint. Sometimes the whole knuckle has to be removed and sometimes the knuckle is disconnected at the strut.
The main sign of a change in toe angle the primary angle involved in tire wear is a change in the position of the steering wheel when driving straight down a flat road. If the steering wheel was level before and level after, probably, there was no change. If an inner joint has failed, it should be kept in mind that these are sensitive to the engine position. The engine mounts holds the engine in place and absorb vibrations; if one is worn out, that changes the angle of the engine and so, the angle of the CV joint.
If the engine mount that resists engine movement under force wears out, then, the engine can roll forward or back too far. This can put the inner joints at a more extreme angle than they were designed for; causing wear and failure.
CV joints use a rubber or silicon boot to hold the grease in the joint.
