If you hear knocking sounds in the front drive when turning the car while driving, check the constant velocity joints
If you feel any play when rocking the drive shaft by hand or the mudguards are torn, such a joint must be replaced.
Disassembling the joint is practically pointless.
This is a labor-intensive job, and if the mudguard is torn, the dirt that has gotten into the joint has already rendered the joint parts unusable.
The joint parts cannot be replaced separately, and therefore the best option is to replace the joint as a whole, as well as its mudguard.
As a last resort, disassembling the inner joint to replace the grease is allowed, as it is less susceptible to water and road dirt.
The appearance of traces of grease on the joint indicates that the mudguard torn.
