Parts for your 2024 Mitsubishi Asx-Cv boots

2024 Mitsubishi ASX CV boots: what they do and when to replace them

Technical sources confirm CV boots are absolutely relevant to the 2024 Mitsubishi ASX. The Mitsubishi Motors ASX (XD series) workshop manual for Front Axle/Driveshaft details inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints protected by rubber/TPE boots, and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue lists front driveshaft boot kits for the 2024 ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport. Common Australian and New Zealand parts catalogues also carry ASX CV boot kits covering 2010–2024 models, reinforcing that this vehicle uses CV boots on its front driveshafts.

On the 2024 ASX, the CV boots are the flexible covers that keep the special high‑moly CV grease in and water, sand and grit out. They sit over the inner (transmission side) and outer (wheel side) CV joints on the front driveshafts, allowing the joint to articulate as the wheels steer and the suspension travels. Because the ASX is front‑wheel drive in local trims, those front CV boots are mission‑critical to joint life and smooth driveline operation.

Servicing is mostly about regular checks rather than scheduled replacement. At each 15,000 km/12‑month service, a quick look for splits, perishing, loose clamps or grease fling is smart, especially if the car sees gravel roads, roadworks, beach air or winter grit. If a boot is cracked but the joint is still quiet and clean, a boot‑only replacement with the correct clamp tools and grease is usually fine. If there’s water or dirt inside, or the joint clicks on turns, it’s better value to replace the joint or the complete shaft.

• Watch for tell‑tales: dark grease sprayed on the inner wheel or control arm, a rubber boot that’s torn or swollen, or a rhythmic clicking when turning.
• Use quality boot kits with proper stainless clamps and the specified grease type and quantity for the ASX’s joints.
• Avoid solvents and pressure washing directly on the boots, they can dry or nick the rubber.

Boot replacement is a tidy job when done right: clean the joint thoroughly, pack the correct grease, seat the boot evenly and crimp clamps with the proper pliers. The hub/axle nut torque is high on these cars, so DIYers should use a torque wrench and follow the workshop spec, or let a trusted mechanic handle it. Torn CV boots are a common cause of WOF/roadworthy knockbacks in NZ and Australia, so keeping them intact helps the ASX stay compliant and quiet on the road.

Popular questions about 2024 Mitsubishi ASX CV boots

Does the 2024 Mitsubishi ASX have CV boots?
Yes. The ASX uses front driveshafts with inner and outer CV joints, each protected by a flexible boot. This is documented in the Mitsubishi ASX (XD) workshop manual and reflected in the Mitsubishi ASA parts catalogue and local parts listings.

How often should CV boots be replaced on a 2024 ASX?
There’s no fixed interval, they’re inspected at each service (about every 15,000 km/12 months). Replace a boot as soon as it shows cracking, grease leaks or loose clamps. In gentle city use they can last many years, gravel and coastal driving can shorten their life.

What does it cost to replace a CV boot versus a complete shaft in AU/NZ?
Ballpark figures vary by workshop and region, but a single CV boot replacement typically lands around $200–$400 per side fitted. If the joint is contaminated or noisy, a complete driveshaft swap might be $450–$900 per side fitted. Quotes depend on parts choice and labour time.
