- 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 located at either end of your driveshafts, they accommodate movement from 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 keep debris from getting into the joints while also making sure the joints are lubricated. When a CV boot breaks or wears down, you will need to replace it with a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit. A broken CV boot can expose your CV joint to debris and lead to premature joint failure.
CV boots are designed to last a while, but they experience a lot of wear and tear from road debris. Some common causes of CV boot damage are severe friction, heat, and punctures. If a CV boot tears or cracks, you might note grease on your wheels or slight vibrations when driving. Unfortunately, CV boot damage might not be obvious until it's already affected the CV joints. Try to inspect your boots once a year or more often if you drive on tough terrain or go off-roading.
Replacing your CV boot with a CV Joint Boot Kit the moment you notice a problem can help you save on repairs later. A replacement Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit has everything you need to help make sure your CV joints are protected, including the grease, clamp, and CV boot itself. With the right tools and experience, 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 let a trained technician handle the replacement.
When it comes to critical components like a CV Joint Boot Kit, you should make sure you get the correct product for your Nissan. Shopping genuine OEM parts can help you find the best fit for your vehicle.
