Audi CV Joint Boot replacement

Summary

DART in Denver handles CV joint boot replacement as one of their most common repairs on front-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles, including Audi. They replace the full axle with a remanufactured unit sourced locally to keep costs low.

  • The rubber CV joint boots wear out from age, heat, turning forces, and environmental exposure. Once a boot fails, grease escapes and water and road debris enter the joint, which can cause the part to fail if not addressed quickly.
  • DART uses thoroughly remanufactured axles from a local Denver provider to keep repair costs as low as possible. This approach replaces the old axle rather than just patching the damaged boot.
  • A common warning sign of a torn CV boot is loud clicking when turning the steering wheel. Drivers who notice this should schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
What is an Audi CV joint boot and why does it need to be replaced?

An Audi CV joint boot is a rubber cover that protects the CV joint on front wheel drive axles. Over time, heat, age, and road exposure cause the boot to wear out and fail, allowing grease to escape while dirt and water enter the joint. Replacing it quickly helps prevent costly axle damage.

This is one of the most common repairs we do on all vehicles with front wheel drive axles. (This includes 4 wheel drive cars) The rubber covers over the cv joint tend to wear out due to age, heat, turning forces and exposure to the environment.  Once the boot fails, the grease evacuates and water and road debris make their way into this important joint.  If caught and replaced quickly, there are few risks, but if neglected, this part can fail.  DART replaces your axel with a thoroughly remanufactured axel from a local Denver provider.  This keeps the cost of this repair as low as we can.  If you hear lots of clicking when you turn the wheel of your Audi (or any front wheel powered vehicle), call and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
