Anyone have this issue? CV joint torn.

bigd1276 · 09-28-2017, 01:03 PM

I've now had my Camaro for one year and 2,300 miles. While in for a PA state inspection, the (local Ford dealer) service tech advised me that my "left rear outer C/V joint boot is torn". Anyone else deal with this issue? My Chevy dealership didn't notice this when it was in for the first oil change back in April. I drive very conservatively, only sunny sunday afternoons. What could cause it and what damage could it have already done?

Torn C/V boots are typically the result of road debris. The boot needs to be replaced ASAP. Over time, dirt/grit will get into the joint and cause damage.

yeah not a big deal. Just replace the boot and you'll be golden.

I would take it to the dealer and see what they say about replacing the CV joint as well. If the boot has been torn for a while, most of the grease has already been thrown out and the CV joint needs to be replaced.

I would expect to see a mess of grease down there. Have you looked?

My car is a garage queen. There's nothing leaking on the garage floor.

The dealer had to order parts(plural). I think he mentioned kit on the phone. The service dept was closed when I went back to pick it up. Waiting for a call back when the parts arrive. They did tell me to refrain from driving it which is easy for me to do.

One year and you only drove 2300 mi on it?

Yeah it’s purely a spare time for pleasure vehicle. It gets put away for the winter in a few months.
