Axle boot (Plastic)

Kailangan na ba agad palitan ang axle boot pag may tagas ng grasa?

Oo kasi papasukin ng dumi na pwedeng ikasira ng mga bearing ng CV joint.

yes and no.
yes, because, as yatta above says, papasukin yan ng dumi na makakasira sa metal.
no, because "it probably will not happen overnight". my boots have remained leaking for weeks or months, and after replacing, the metal inside still performed for years, without incident.

what do i recommend?
have it fixed asap. you won't save on anything if you procrastinate. the expense of repair will not diminish, even if you take your time.

i had a car with one side a broken cv boot. napasin lang namin when replacing the axle grease was more liquid and brownish white in color compared to the other side with the intact axle boot. this indicated water contamination. together with all previous reasons stated better have it replaced sooner rather than later.

Replace them asap and hope it's not too late.

Left alone, sand, dust, and crud will get in, stick to the lubrication and act like rubbing compound to the moving parts. With the CV unprotected, it will enter accelerated wear and will later exhibit itself as CV noises like clicks, grinding noises, and vibrations.

CV joint boot? what car is that and how old in yrs and kilometers?

also be sure to use the correct grease. CV joint grease containing molybdenum disulphide. they come in those plastic accordion like tubes
