CV boot replacement in North Parramatta

CV boot replacement at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, is quoted in writing after the driveshafts are checked on the hoist. A split boot throws its grease out and lets grit in; caught early, a new boot saves the joint.

Each driveshaft has a CV joint at both ends, and each joint lives inside a rubber boot packed with grease. The boot flexes every time the wheel turns or the suspension moves, and in time it splits.

More detail

A split boot flings its grease onto the inside of the wheel and lets water and grit into the joint. The joint then wears quickly and starts to click on turns.

If the joint is still quiet and smooth, we fit a new boot and fresh grease. If it already clicks, the joint or shaft is quoted instead, and we show you why.

How much does CV boot replacement cost?

It depends on the car and whether it is the inner or the outer boot. The driveshaft usually has to come out, so most of the cost is labour. We quote it in writing before any work starts.

Can I drive with a split CV boot?

For a short time, but the joint is losing grease and taking in grit with every kilometre. Leave it and a boot job becomes a joint or a driveshaft.

Do I need a boot or a whole CV joint?

If the joint is quiet and smooth, a boot and fresh grease is enough. If it clicks on turns, the joint is already worn and a new boot will not fix it.

How do I know a CV boot has split?

Look behind the front wheels for dark grease flung on the inside of the rim or the suspension. It is easy to confirm with the car on a hoist.

What are the signs of a split CV boot?
  • Grease flung around the inside of a wheel
  • A split or torn boot seen with the car on a hoist
  • Grease spots under the front of the car
  • A boot clamp that has come off
  • Clicking on tight turns, which means the joint is already worn
