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.

Technical note

We inspect inner and outer joints, boots and shaft play so the repair matches the actual wear present.
