Please can anyone tell me if it is possible to require replacement CV boots on a car 2 years running.

I had one replaced last year in its annual service (an outside one) and today was told I need 3 replaced, one inside and two outside. I have only done just over 5000 miles in the last year.

Have I been ripped off along the line? Has anyone else with a Vauxhall Corsa had a problem with CV boots?

Hi there,

This is a bit unusual, I would have a second opinion, the boots are rubber and can fail, but if they are just crazed and not torn, they are quite serviceable still.

THANKS FOR THAT BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE HAD THESAE FIXED YESTERDAY.

JUST SEEMED A BIT STRANGE THAT ONE HAD BEEN DONE LAST YEAR AND I DON'T DO A GREAT DEAL OF MILEAGE.

HOW WOULD I HAVE GOT THEM CHECKED. GONE TO ANOTHER GARAGE I SUPPOSE?
