your cv boot has torn and needs replacement
Installing a CV boot on your 2003 Sebring ๐ is a relatively straightforward process ๐ค. First, raise the car with a jack ๐ ๏ธ and remove the wheel ๐ to access the CV axle ๐. Next, remove the caliper ๐ ๏ธ and rotor ๐ฉ to access the CV joint ๐คฏ. Now, slide the old CV boot off ๐ and inspect the CV joint for any damage ๐ค. Clean the area thoroughly ๐งน and apply grease ๐ฆ to the CV joint. Slide the new CV boot on ๐, making sure it's properly seated ๐. Secure the boot with the provided clamps ๐ฉ and tighten them in a star pattern โญ๏ธ. Finally, reassemble everything in the reverse order ๐ and lower the car to the ground ๐ ๏ธ. Test drive the car to ensure the CV boot is properly installed ๐. Remember to refer to your owner's manual ๐ or a repair manual for specific instructions ๐.
The CV joint is the part inside the boot.
Keeps grease in, dirt and water out.
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.
I am not sure what the question is but basically, most cars have have two to four cv joints, one or two on each side of the car. The outer cv joint is located near the tire or hub, the other, also known as "the inner, which also has a boot is located near or in the transmission........hope this helped
A cracked boot itself won't cause a CV joint to make noise. However, a cracked boot WILL cause the grease to be slung out and allow dirt to enter the CV joint. And a contaminated CV joint that is starved for lubricant WILL eventually start to make noise.
To replace the CV boot on a Vito van, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel for access. Detach the axle from the wheel hub, then slide off the old CV boot clamp and boot. Clean the joint, apply fresh grease, and position the new CV boot onto the axle. Finally, secure the boot with new clamps, reattach the axle to the hub, and reinstall the wheel.
They make replacements that are split in half, but they aren't generally recommended. What's best (unfortunately) is to remove the shaft and replace it with a stock cv boot. If the cv boot has been open to the elements for a while, damage in the cv joint might have occured.
