CV Boot Replacement Services at Tilly Mill Auto Center
CV joints connect the transmission to wheels. Each drive axle has two CV joints. The inner CV joint connects the transmission to axle, and the outer joint connects axle to wheels. As your vehicle encounters road force, the CV joints move in conjunction with the suspension system while helping the wheels maintain a constant velocity.
A CV boot houses a CV joint and protects it by keeping out dirt, debris, and other elements. CV boots are made of rubber or plastic strong enough to withstand the constant bending of the CV joints. The boots also ensure that the CV joints remain lubricated by encapsulating the required amount of lithium moly grease. CV boots degrade with age and periodic inspections can prolong the life of CV joints and prevent costly future repairs or replacements.
