About the piece:
The CV Boot in Mazda vehicles is a flexible rubber piece designed to protect the CV Joint from dirt, dust, and moisture. It also keeps grease inside the joint to ensure smooth movement and long life. This boot is located at the ends of the CV Joint Axle Shaft.
Its function:
- Reverse joint protection: Prevents dirt and dust from entering the reverse joint, thus maintaining its efficiency.
- Maintains grease: Keeps grease inside the joint to reduce friction between metal parts and ensure smooth movement.
- Extending the life of the joint: Protects the joint from wear and tear resulting from direct exposure to external factors.
Symptoms of damage:
- Grease leak: Notice grease splattered on the wheels or near the reverse area.
- Crackling noises: Hearing a crackling noise when turning, especially when accelerating or cornering.
- Driving vibrations: Feeling a vibration while driving, especially at high speeds.
- Skin tear: Visible cracks or tears in the rubber skin.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you have the reverse bushing checked and replaced if necessary to ensure the integrity of the reverse joint and the performance of your Mazda.
