Regularly inspecting driveaxle boots, especially the outer CV boot, on 4WD models is crucial because these boots protect the CV (constant velocity) joints from dirt and damage. If the boots are torn, cracked, or have loose clamps, they can allow dirt and contaminants to enter the CV joint, leading to premature wear and potential joint failure. Cleaning the boots with soap and water helps prevent oil and grease from deteriorating them, ensuring the CV joints remain protected and functional. If any evidence of damage or lubricant leakage is found, prompt replacement of the boots is necessary to maintain the integrity of the CV joints.
