How Much Does a CV Joint or Boot Cost?
A clicking CV joint or split boot needs attention. A Cranbourne West specialist explains the cost.
What drives the cost
If caught early when only the boot has split, a re-boot and re-grease is cheaper. If the joint has worn (clicking on turns) it needs a new CV joint or driveshaft. Cost depends on the car, the side, and whether it’s the inner or outer joint.
Catching a split boot before grit ruins the joint is the cheap path.
What the job involves
We inspect the boots and joints, re-boot if the joint is still good, or replace the joint/driveshaft if it’s worn, then road-test.
