ATV CV Joints




Maintaining an All Terrain Vehicle [ATV] can be a one man job if you have the know-how. The suspension is the part that sustains the most when the vehicle is driven through rough terrains.

CV Joints or ball joints are placed inside the hubs located beside the axles and behind the wheels. They have direct contact with the wheels and help in rotation as well, so they get beaten by the terrain the most.

American CV is one of the major companies selling ATV pars, CV Joints, axles and other ATV related accessories. They deal in parts from Yamaha, axles from Kawasaki, axles from Polaris, and many other accessories.

Polaris ATV Axle

ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) is a 4 wheeled bike that can be driven anywhere, including rocks, pavement or slippery terrains.

Driving in such terrains causes the axles on the machine to be treated very roughly. And that’s why it becomes necessary to maintain the suspension, especially the axles. The axles look like shafts coming in from the drive train to the wheel hubs. They are the key, to the power on the wheels because they move the wheels themselves.

Polaris ATV axles are one of the best in the market. They are made to endure the rough terrains and can withstand a high intake of bumps and jolts for the drivers. Polaris atv axles are also available for different models of the quad bike and are available online at companies like American CV who deal with ATV axles as well as other ATV accessories.
