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.
When making a left or right turn lets say at a stop sign hear a light thumping noise from the front end?
It sounds like the cv boot on the axle. When there is a hole, the grease leaks out and it starts to grind the axle. You may need a new left or right axle, and cv boot.
How would you know if they axle is bad on your car?
Assuming this is a front wheel drive axle (aka halfshaft), the CV joint and boot are what fails. You will hear a crunching/snapping noise when accelerating especially on a curve and you may also see grease spinning out from a torn boot.

do you have it all apart? The spindle removed from the nuckle? on the driver's side pull harder. The use of a prybar or large screwdriver might help. On the passenger side remove one of the metal clamps on the rubber boot in the middle if the axle an replace it when you are done.
What causes a knocking sound in the front of the car when turning to the left?

What is the cause of a popping sound when pulling out from the front driverside wheel?
aside from from debris or something wrong with your driver side tire like a "broken belt" or maybe you have a clearance problem, some other common type of noises are generated by the drive axle's deterioration due to lack of lubrication (grease), if the boot seal is ruptured allowing the axle grease to be lost the axle will deteriorate and become damaged. One of the tell tale signs is the "popping or clicking noise emitted by the axle especially during sharp turns. To fix this, remove the axle and the rubber boot seal, clean and inspect the bearings and their cams for damage. you can remove the bearings by rotating the cams 90 degrees from each other. If everything is in good condition re-grease the bearings re install the boot seal and a new clamp. after that proceed to install the axle and wheels. good luck.
What parts are needed to repair left and right axle assemblies on a 1991 Geo Prizm?
Consider replacing the complete axle assembly rather than repairing a CV joint or replacing a torn boot. An axle will cost around $80. I have tried replacing boots with "split boots" that you can put on without removing the axle from the car or doing any disassembly. Unfortunately, they do not last a long time. I did replace a boot with a homemade cloth one. That lasted a long time.
How do i change the axle boot of a bug?
If it's a swingaxle Bug, they make a kit with a retrofit boot. You cut the old boot off and bolt the new one together around the axle. An IRS Bug requires a pair of circlip pliers and a CV bolt socket. Take the axle out of the car and remove the circlips from the axle. Knock the axle out of the CVs with a big hammer and a drift punch. Throw the old boots away. Clean and repack the CVs, put the boots on the axle, then the CVs on the axle, then the axle back in the car.
