Operation: How do the headphones of the driveshafts work?

In this video, we will learn how semi-axle boots work. They are made of flexible molded rubber and are crossed by the semi-axle. The larger end is attached to the joint, and its purpose is to protect the internal joint. The joint is a mechanism that transmits the rotation of the semi-axle to the wheel when we steer. These joints are filled with grease to lubricate them and prevent the grease from spreading everywhere. The life of the boot is not easy; it is constantly under stress and gets dirty from the outside, so it is not uncommon for it to crack, break, or split. When this happens, the grease starts to leak out, and dirt begins to enter. Therefore, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the boots. Replacing them is not easy. To remove them, you simply cut them, but to put a new one in place, you either have to partially disassemble the car or have specific tools available. In fact, when performing this operation, the cost of labor is often higher than the cost of the part itself. They should then be secured at the ends with appropriate metal clamps.
