How do you tell if CV Boot is bad on Infinity QX4?

In: CV Joints [Edit categories]

Answer:

Visually inspect it. If you can see any rips or tears, I highly recommend replacing it before the grease inside the joint becomes contaminated, if you go long enough with contaminated grease it can really chew up the joint and the joint itself can fail and leave you stranded.
