Report: Front Outer CV Boots May Tear and Leak at 60,000 Miles
BMW X3 Problem
Model Years Affected: 2004, 2005, 2006
Verified
After 60,000 miles, the front outer half-shaft boots tend to tear and leak grease. In most cases, only the boot will have to be replaced; however, if it is not repaired soon enough, the half-shaft may need to be replaced. The front outer boots are put under heavy stress because of their involvement with the suspension when making turns.
