A split CV boot allows grease to escape and contamination to enter the joint. Early boot replacement can sometimes preserve the joint; once clicking or wear develops, joint or shaft replacement may be required.
We inspect inner and outer joints, boots and shaft play so the repair matches the actual wear present.
