Understanding your vehicle's Drive shaft boots and the importance of its maintenance

Drive shafts transmit your vehicle's power to its wheels. At each end of some drive shafts, there is a constant velocity (CV) joint that accomodate the changes in angle necessary for steering and/or suspension travel. The CV joint is surrounded by a flexible cover (the "boot") to protect and contain its lubricating grease. Over time, the drive shaft boot becomes brittle and could tear, requiring regular inspections and replacement.
