A CV boot is really just a rubber or thermoplastic cover. It protects the constant velocity joint – that’s the CV joint – at the end of your driveshaft. It keeps the grease in and dirt, water, and debris out. Pretty simple idea, actually. That CV joint is what allows your wheels to turn and move up and down with the suspension while still getting power. It needs to be lubricated, and that boot is essential for keeping it that way. Think of it like a really important seal. It’s part of the drivetrain, so it’s directly involved in getting power from the engine to the wheels. Without it working right, you'll lose power and control. Well, if that boot tears or cracks, grease starts slinging out, and everything gets contaminated. Once that happens, the joint itself starts to wear down. It’ll start clicking or popping when you turn – you’ll notice if that starts happening, especially when turning sharply at slower speeds. Eventually, if it’s left long enough, the joint will fail completely, and that can lead to some serious, expensive damage. Replacing just the boot is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole driveshaft. You can find these CV boots pretty easily, we’ve got a good selection at Fixparts Online, and there are videos online that show you how to do the repair yourself if you’re handy. But if you’re not comfortable, definitely have a mechanic take a look. Buy risk-free: CV Boot (MPN 03174) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
