They are protected by a rubber boot, a CV gaiter. Cracks and splits in the boot will allow the joint to corrode and a new joint would need to be fitted if the joint is not removed early enough, cleaned, greased, and a new boot fitted.

CV Joints
CV joints allow a drive shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play. They are mainly used in front wheel drive and all wheel drive cars. Rear wheel drive cars with independent rear suspension typically use CV joints at the ends of the rear axle halfshafts, and increasingly use them on the propshafts.

Hi Shamsher ,great to see you working on CV'S and Driveline.Looks like you are progressing well,although you can work harder here with more information in this subject.Would you agree that there are different types of CV joints,what components make up the construction of an inner/outer joints,and what type of inspection of these components would need to be carried out to identify potential wear or specific faults. How do they work? I hope this is some help to generate some extra ideas.Keep up the good work.
