Can a bad cv axle cause your car to stall out when put in gear?

Yes, a bad CV axle can cause your car to stall when put in gear, though it is not the most common reason for stalling. If the CV axle is damaged or worn, it may not transfer power effectively from the transmission to the wheels, leading to a loss of power and potential stalling. Additionally, if the axle is making unusual noises or vibrations, it could indicate further issues that might affect the engine's operation. However, stalling is more commonly related to engine or transmission problems.
