How a CV Boot Works

CV joints connect the transmission to the wheels and are an important part of your vehicle’s drive Axles. Each drive Axle has two CV joints. The inner CV joint connects the transmission to the Axle, and the outer joint connects the Axle to the wheels. As the vehicle experiences road force, the CV joints move in conjunction with the suspension system while helping the wheels maintain a constant velocity.

A CV boot houses a CV joint and protects it by keeping out dirt, debris, and other elements. CV boots are made of rubber or plastic strong enough to withstand the constant bending of the CV joints. The boots also ensure that the CV joints remain lubricated by encapsulating the required amount of lithium moly grease. Without proper lubrication, a CV joint cannot easily adjust to the motion of the wheels.

Signs and Symptoms of a Damaged CV Boot

Since your CV boot keeps your CV joint properly lubricated, any splits in the CV boot will lead to a loss of lubrication. The resulting metal-on-metal contact can wear down your CV joints fairly quickly. You should also note that heat and friction can eventually degrade your CV boot.

Why CV Boot Replacement Matters

CV boots naturally degrade with age. Inspections can prolong the life of CV joints and prevent costly future repairs or replacements. Because CV boots also keep the area of lubrication clean and prevent any damaging dirt or debris from harming the CV joint, replacing a cracked or torn CV boot as soon as possible is extremely important.

Neglecting regular inspections of the CV boot and accompanying components may lead to more expensive repairs and replacements down the road.

What We Do for Your CV Boot

Our visual inspection will determine whether or not the boot needs to be replaced. Our CV boot replacement will help the CV joint stay properly lubricated and help ensure proper transfer of motion from the transmission to the wheels.

Customer Testimonials

We stand by our work.

- The owner John is very knowledgeable and the whole staff is friendly. I came for an oil change and to have my tires serviced (rotation, alignment and balance) because I thought they needed it. John told me I didn't need service to my tires and they rode very well; no need to spend the money on a service that wasn't needed. We all know many establishments would try to push a service for a dollar so his honesty is appreciated. Reasonable pricing and great service. Highly recommend! Services: Tire rotations, Oil change

- I had slow leak from a nail puncture and I was told by another tire shop that run flat tires could not be fully patched. He said it would cost $75 for a temporary fix but he recommended replacing, so I bought another tire online. [...] Thomas did such great work that it was not a temp fix at all and basically let me know the other place did not know what they were talking about. I have had no issues with the tire and its been over 3 months. He also said the repair came with a lifetime warranty so this place is all good in my book. Highly recommend. Service: Tires
