They are common on front-wheel-drive axles and on rear shafts in all-wheel drive and some rear-wheel-drive vehicles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They protect the CV joints by sealing out dirt, water, and debris. They preserve smooth, constant-velocity rotation and are usually made of flexible, durable rubber.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are accessible only from the undercarriage and require lifting and securing the vehicle. Inspection or replacement typically involves disconnecting the spindle and strut, removing the axle nut, and using a puller to free the splined joint; a torn boot often leads to replacing the entire CV axle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cv-boot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"CV boots\">CV boots<\/a> are typically located on the ends of a vehicle&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/driveshaft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"drive shaft\/axles\">drive shaft\/axles<\/a>.
