2003 Mazda Protege CV Joint Boot Parts and Q&A

• Q: What role do CV Joint Boots play in protecting constant velocity joints, and how should they be maintained on 2003 Mazda Protege?

  A: CV joint boots are needed to exclude the constant velocity (CV) joints from dirt and water. Wash them in order to avoid rust. The outer CV boot also wears more quickly because it has pivotal motion, and therefore it is important to check it regularly for tears, cracks, loose clamps, among others; damages should be replaced.
