Quick facts
- Part: TrakMotive FD-8261 CV axle shaft
- Fits: 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ

A clicking noise on turns, grease flung from a torn boot or vibration while driving can mean the CV axle is worn, though a wheel bearing or tire can cause similar signs. With the engine off, look at both boots for tears or thrown grease before you replace the axle; a shop can test the joints.
