A leaking drive shaft boot can pose significant dangers as it allows grease to escape, leading to reduced lubrication and increased friction in the drive shaft assembly. This can result in accelerated wear and potential failure of the joints, which may cause loss of vehicle control or a complete drive shaft failure while driving. Additionally, it can lead to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to prevent these issues.

What causes a knocking sound when turning the wheel?
If the "knocking" sound is a heavy clicking sound when turning, and if the vehicle is front-wheel-drive, you probably have a worn CV joint, often referred to as a half-shaft. This problem can sometimes be temporarily corrected by repacking the joint with grease and replacing the rubber CV boot which is probably torn. Usually, however, it is best to replace the shaft since it is necessary to remove it to replace the boot anyway, and this constitutes most of the labor. On the other hand you can do a bit of a cheat by cutting off the old boot, repacking the joint with grease, and re-covering it with a special split boot that does not require removal of the shaft. A CV joint (Constant Velocity Joint) is the equivalent of a Universal Joint in the drive shaft of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
