If the CV Boots are damaged, letting grease out and water and dirt in, serious and costly damage can occur to the CV joints. The boots should be inspected very carefully at the recommended intervals or anytime the vehicle is raised. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Place the transaxle in Neutral. While rotating the wheels, inspect the four CV Boots, two on each driveaxle, very carefully for cracks, tears, holes, deteriorated rubber and loose or missing clamps. Check the inner and outer boot on each driveaxle for cracks or leaking grease. If the boots are dirty, wipe them clean before beginning the inspection. If damage or deterioration is evident, replace the boots and check the CV joints for damage. Place the transaxle in Park or in gear as applicable and lower the vehicle.
