2001CV boots

Jun 10, 2004 4 Replies

I have a 2001 outback that I love. My question is, when should I be looking at replacing the CV boots and what is a fair price for that work? Any information is welcome. Thank you in advance


Does anyone actually do preventive replacmeent on these?

Ditto. A ripped boot will result in grease being sprayed underneath the car. A quick peek at each oil change will spot it.

I was having a LOT of trouble with the boot on the left front of the car. Seemed like I replaced it at least twice each summer. Finally figured out that it was the car wash which pulled the car through via the front wheel! Quit washing my car and the boots lasted for years!!!
