Some Mazda 6 owners report experiencing issues related to ripped CV boots, which can lead to grease loss in the CV joint and allow water, grit, and dirt to enter, causing wear on the joint. These owners have found that replacing the damaged CV boots requires careful removal of the old boots and proper installation of new ones to maintain a tight seal and protect against further damage. Additionally, some have noticed that noise from the CV joints while turning indicates that the joints may be worn out and need replacement, along with the halfshaft assembly. It is also common for owners to check wheel alignment during CV boot replacement to ensure proper drivetrain function. In cases where the CV joint is already damaged, a full CV axle boot replacement may be necessary. Many owners recommend having a professional mechanic perform the replacement and alignment repair to avoid future complications and ensure the job is done correctly.
