What are Car Boots?

There is car part that is commonly known as a CV boot. This is not to be confused with the trunk, which the British call the boot. The CV boot is a protective part of your car’s undercarriage. If these important parts are deteriorating, it is definitely time to have them replaced. You can get quality car repair serving Kingston NY at Prestige Toyota Service.
CV Boot
The CV boot is essentially a special rubber cover. It is designed to protect the drive axle joint. Without this covering, moisture and debris will attack and rust the joint. This joint is often called the CV (constant velocity) joint. The drive axle is essential to steering, handling, and vehicle stability. Like your brake pads, the CV boots are much less expensive than the parts that they protect. You can schedule repairs online or call us at 845-750-6941.
Broken Boot
A broken CV boot no longer protects the CV joint from damage. Cracks and tears allow the boot’s protective grease to leak out. These openings also dirt and other destructive particles to attack the more expensive CV joint. To protect the joint, the boot must be replaced. This definitely saves money in the long run because the boots protect the CV joints.
