I am not sure what the question is but basically, most cars have have two to four cv joints, one or two on each side of the car. The outer cv joint is located near the tire or hub, the other, also known as "the inner, which also has a boot is located near or in the transmission........hope this helped
A CV boot is found on the axle of a vehicle. To replace the outer boot remove the axle bolt and pull the boot off. The inner boot requires removal of the whole axle.
I have just fitted both CV boots on a 1994 Peugeot 106. Though I only needed the outer one replacing I had to remove the inner CV joint to slip the boot over the outer CV bell end. As a result I had to replace inner boot and metal sleeve also. Job wasn't too difficult considering I am not a mechanic , only hard bit was removing the circlip on the inner CV joint, if you need further details, email me at ziamirza99@clara.co.uk and I can send you detail & pics of assembly.
I dont think you can change the inner cv boot unless you get one slightly bigger than original and fasten it to outside of inner cv joint but there will be no groove for it to sit in so it may pop off unless you get a jubilee clip on it! Otherwise its a new shaft! I work in a garage and they are a common problem but we just change the shaft, their about 50 quid or about 20 from a scrapyard
remove axle, separate joint inner or outter joint, clean, regrease, and put it back together with a new boot
Lift the vehicle using a jack. Inspect the CV boot for problems. Mark the axle. Separate the CV from the shaft. Remove the CV boot clamps. Use a mallet to knock the CV joint off the shaft. Remove the boot from the CV axle shaft.
The CV joint is the part inside the boot.
Change the entire drive shaft. Chances are, if the boot needs to be replaced, the axle will go out because moisture and dirt has contaminated the CV bearings.
the outer CV joint is a non-serviceable and non-removable item on the escort and ZX2. If it is bad it will need replacement. to remove the boot and replace it there are two ways to do it. (1) cut the boot off and replace it with a speed boot (a boot split down the length which then gets glued together) (2) either cut the boot off or slide it off. This method will take more work than the speed boot. This will require removal of the complete half axle. You will first have to separate the inner joint and remove that boot as well. Once the joint is separated, the tripod bearing will have to be removed. Once all this is done the new boot for the outer CV joint can be installed. If you do this method, you should also install a new inner boot as well.
if you mean inner cv joint , the boot can rip causing premature failure, but the normal life expectancy of a cv axle can range from 75000 to 150000 miles depending on car and driver habits, could just have worn out
A cracked boot itself won't cause a CV joint to make noise. However, a cracked boot WILL cause the grease to be slung out and allow dirt to enter the CV joint. And a contaminated CV joint that is starved for lubricant WILL eventually start to make noise.
They make replacements that are split in half, but they aren't generally recommended. What's best (unfortunately) is to remove the shaft and replace it with a stock cv boot. If the cv boot has been open to the elements for a while, damage in the cv joint might have occured.
Keeps dirt out of it
