- Protects CV joints from moisture and debris
- Keeps CV joints lubricated
- Needs to be replaced when cracked or punctured
The constant velocity (CV) joints in your Nissan transmit power from the transmission to the wheels. Normally found at either end of your driveshafts, they accommodate the movement of your suspension system and provide the wheels with the torque needed to turn.
Each CV joint has a boot to protect it. CV boots help prevent debris from entering the joints while also keeping the joints lubricated. When one of your CV boots is broken or worn, it will need to be replaced with a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit. A bad CV boot can expose your CV joint to external elements and cause premature joint failure.
CV joints are made to survive a long time, but they face a lot of wear and tear from road debris. Your CV boot might be damaged by severe friction, heat, and punctures. If a CV boot is cracked or torn, you might note grease on the wheels or slight vibrations while driving. Unfortunately, CV boot damage might not be noticeable until it's already affected the CV joints. Try to inspect your boots once a year or more often if you off-road a lot or drive on rough terrain.
Replacing your CV boot with a CV Joint Boot Kit the moment you recognize a problem can help you save on future repairs. A replacement Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit has what you need to help make certain your CV joints are protected, including the clamp, CV boot, and grease. With the right tools and know-how, you can replace a CV boot on your own. You can also purchase a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit online, take it to the nearest service center with your vehicle, and have a trained technician replace it.
