In SUVs like the Pilot, CV axles are critical components that transfer power from the transmission to the wheels while also allowing flexibility for the suspension’s up-and-down motion. Because Honda Pilots are larger, family-friendly vehicles often used for road trips, commuting, and sometimes towing, their CV axles endure significant stress.

Over time, this boot can crack or tear, allowing dirt and moisture to get in and grease to leak out. When that happens, the joint wears down—and that’s when you start to hear clicking or popping sounds, especially during sharp t ... read more
