- Protects CV joints from moisture and debris
- Keeps CV joints lubricated
- Needs to be replaced when cracked or punctured
Your Nissan constant velocity (CV) joints transfer power from the transmission to the wheels. Typically located at either end of your driveshafts, they accommodate the movement of your suspension system and provide the wheels with the torque needed to turn.
Each CV joint is guarded by a boot. CV boots help keep debris from getting into the joints while also keeping the joints lubricated. When one of your CV joints becomes broken or worn, you will need to replace it with a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit. A bad CV boot can expose your CV joint to debris and cause premature joint failure.
CV joints are meant to last a while, but they face 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 is cracked or torn, you might notice grease on the wheels or slight vibrations while driving. Unfortunately, CV boot damage might not be noticeable until the CV joints have already been affected. Try to check your boots once a year or more often if you off-road a lot or drive on rough terrain.
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 what you need to help make certain your CV joints are protected, including the clamp, CV boot, and grease. With the proper tools and knowledge, you can replace a CV boot on your own. You can also buy a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit online take it to the nearest service center with your vehicle, and have a trained technician replace it.
When it comes to essential components like a CV Joint Boot Kit, you should make sure you have the correct product for your Nissan. Ordering genuine OEM parts can help you find the best fit for your model and year.
