Change trans fluid and filter every 2 years/20,000 miles.
Most batteries will last 4-5 years.
Change oil every 3-5000 miles.
CV axles have boots (filled with grease) to protect CV bearings, if boot is cut/ripped, grease will leak out and axle will start clicking especially in turns.
If not repaired it CAN sieze, but CV joint will first click, then noise will get worse as water gets into CV bearings and ruins them.
