When do you knowyou need to replace the CV joint?
When you drive the car around a sharp turn, the CV joints will make a bad clicking sound if they need repair. Look at them and see if the protective boot is missing or torn. If they make a bad noise on a turn to right or left, at least one of them are bad, and will probably require replacement.

How do you replace the cv boot on 2000 vw jetta?
It would be in your best interest to replace the entire CV shaft. Replacing the boot is only a temporary fix, because the bearings inside the torn old boot have been exposed to the elements (dirt/water), and will destroy the bearings.

Since you'll need to take it in for an alignment afterward, just have an alignment specialty shop do it for you. It will save trouble and tires.
Is replacing a CV boot expensive?
If you are talking about just the boot, and not the whole CV Joint (Axle), then no it's not that expensive. The boot itself should be under $50 depending on your make and model of vehicle, and the labor, even at a dealership should not be all that bad. You can call your local dealership and get a price over the phone. Now if you need the whole thing, CV Joint, that can be expensive depending a lot on the vehicle. I had a Z-71 Silverado and the dealership wanted almost $1000.00 to replace the CV joint on it. After doing a little research I found out that most of the money for the repair was for the part itself. So I bought an aftermarket CV joint from Carquest for under $100.00 and had the dealership install it using my part from Carquest. The total bill was under $200.00. Hope this helps.
You normally have to remove the wheel fron the strut. My son say it is possible to remove the tie rods ends and so the brake drum will turn out far enought to remove and install a new cv joint axle. Go to your local library for a repair manual
Can a worn CV joint cause a front disc rotor to warp?
Hello there, from my best knwoledged, CV, Constant Velocity joints are nothing to do with disc rotor warp damages. The warp damages came from the overheated brake or *a very high heat temperature drop suddenly during braking. (*usually a sudden heavy rainning occur)
that is all i can help.

It won't warb the rotors, but a torn outer CV boot can sometimes result in symptoms (e.g. wheel shuddering when braking) very similar to a warped rotor. When the CV boot is torn, axle grease is flung out all over the place, and if any of it gets on the rotor you can get a stick-slip action in the brakes that feels like a warped rotor. One way to tell the difference is to drive very slowly and gently apply the brakes. If you still feel the pulsation with the brakes only barely engaged, you have a warped rotor. If the pulsation doesn't appear until you reach higher speeds and/or brake harder, you should check the condition of your CV boots before immediately buying new rotors. As for curing it, you need to replace the boot, clean the rotor, and probably also change the brake pads.
How do you repair cv joint on a 1999 mitsubuhi mirage?
I am assuming the axle cv joint itself is bad an not just the boot. If the cv joint is bad you will have to replace the whole axle itself.
1. Drain transmission fluid.
2. Remove wheel.
3. Loosen and remove axle nut and remove whatever is necessary to free axle from wheel/suspension area.
4. Using a prybar or large screwdriver pop axle out of transmission and replace.
