Basically, this kit replaces the rubber boot that goes over your CV joint – that’s the constant velocity joint. The kit usually includes a new boot, clamps, grease, and sometimes even a few zip ties. It’s a protective cover, plain and simple. It keeps the grease in and the dirt, water, and debris out of the joint. Your CV joints are what allow your wheels to turn and move up and down with the suspension, and also transfer power from the transmission to the wheels. They’re part of the driveshaft system. They have to move freely, and that’s where the boot comes in. Without it, everything gets contaminated, and that friction wears things down quickly. Think of it as a really important seal. If that boot tears or cracks, all that grease starts slinging out, and dirt gets in. It’s like exposing a vital organ. You’ll notice if a boot is bad because you’ll probably see grease flung around the wheel well, and eventually, you’ll start hearing clicking or popping sounds when you turn, especially at lower speeds. Once the joint itself starts to wear from contamination, repairs get much more expensive than just replacing the boot. It’s a preventative maintenance thing. You can find these CV boot kits pretty easily; a good place to check is Fixparts Online, they usually have a good selection. Ignoring a bad boot can lead to needing a whole new axle, so it’s worth taking care of when you spot a problem. Buy risk-free: CV Boot Kit (MPN 27851) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
