This is a view of an outer drive

This is a view of an outer drive axle joint boot (CV boot) that has torn open. The greasy mass inside is the actual joint itself. The exposed grease quickly slings out under centrifugal force while driving and the joint subsequently becomes contaminated with sand, dirt, rocks and water, rapidly wearing the joint components. This condition may necessitate replacement of the axle shaft as an assembly… a much more expensive proposition. The axle shafts are what connect the engine/transaxle with each of the front wheels, driving the vehicle along.

Regular inspections at Motor Works will prevent this and lower your overall transportation costs!
