what does it do to a car??

 

[Ash]

cv joint will die also the car will fail an mot, could damage a driveshaft if left to get too bad. best to fix it before it becomes a very expensive job.

CV boots don't last forever, no matter what the car, but should you catch it early enough it's a cheap job, with just new boot/re-pack with grease. Leave it until dirt/muck/grit gets inside, then you're looking at more expense, new CV joint bearings - which also means more has to be taken apart to change them.

 

[Robin]

As Ash say fix it quick if you get alot of water in there the grease will come out and you will be left with 1 knackered cv joint, that make a loveley clonking noise when you are turning!

cv issue

mine's gone too!

u shud be careful as it leaks grease + can go onto your breaks, its literally £10 for the part with about an hours labour... not sure u can do yourself - so labour will be the cost really! x
