CV Axle Boot DIY

MrGTI house reference

A clicking on full-lock turns (outer CV joint) or a vibration under power (inner joint) means a worn CV joint — and it usually starts with a split CV boot letting grease out and grit in. Catching a torn boot early (re-boot and re-grease) saves the joint; ignore it and you're replacing the joint or the whole driveshaft. See CV Joints Axles for diagnosis
