The CV Boot in Cadillac CTS vehicles is very vital because it helps to protect the Constant Velocity (CV) Joints that is used in the transference of power from the transaxle to the wheels. This soft enfnet or open ended rubber or plastic part retains the correct amount of lubricant in the joint and is capable of absolute exclusion of any dirt in the joint for improved functionality. Certain types of CV joints employed in Cadillac CTS models are available such as Rzeppa kind at the outer end and tripod or double offset kind at the inner end. The outer joints are for those which experience larger movements in angle and the inboard joints for those that experience changes in shaft length due to suspension operation. It is usually recommended to check the CV Boot frequently because any kind of damage to the CV Boot such as crack or tearing could lead to bad state of the CV joint hence affecting the overall performance of the vehicle.
