The wheels turn and go up and down, so the CV joint needs to turn with the wheel, as well as have the ability to go up and down. If you hear a clicking noise while making tight turns, this is a sign your CV joints are damaged.  Bad or damaged engine mounts will cause the cv axle to keep breaking, overloading vehicles beyond its capacity and stress the axles with large bumps and potholes also will damage the cv joint too.
