You might be in time to save your constant velocity joints by replacing the boots. Chances are that if the boots are torn, the damage is done. You will need to replace your half-shaft very soon.

Can a cracked CV boot cause noise in the CV joint?

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.

How much to replace a cv boot on a 2005 vw passat?

I brought my 2005 VW Passat (46,100 miles) into a VW dealer in Minnesota this morning for an oil change. They called and told me two of my CV boots were leaking and that each would cost $330 to repair for a total of $660. I'll probably find someone else to do the work -- or at least check to see if they really are leaking.

It may be your CV joints. Look to see if the rubber boots on your front axles are cracked or separated. If there is grease or oil splattered on the bottom of your truck close to one of the CV joints, it could indicate one is beginning to fail.

What are some symptoms of a worn CV joints?

First, check the "boots" around the CV joints. If they are leaking grease or cracked or you see evidence of grease that was thrown from the CV joint, replace it. You won't get any more service out of it. Second, if the joint makes a grinding or popping noise when you go around a corner, replace it. In front-wheel drive cars, a sure sign of worn CV joints is a loud rhythmic clunking or clicking sound that comes especially while turning tight circles. It is commonly said that sound while turning right indicates a problem in the left drive-shaft's joint and vice-versa though this is not always the case. == ==
