How often should the CV Joint Boot be checked periodically on Volkswagen GTI?

The steering linkage and all the suspension components ought to be periodically viewed because old and damaged parts might cause overuse of tires, low quality of ride, poor handling of the vehicle and low fuel economy. Here we start by parking the car on flat surface, dispensing the engine and engaging the parking brake followed by checking the tire pressure. Press on one side of the vehicle and push it off and watch the body move, it ought to cease after one or two bounces. In case it keeps moving or does not go to its starting position, then there is a possibility that there is a worn out or weak shock absorber. Check this at the other corners. Lift the vehicle using jackstands and check the shock absorbers to see whether there is fluid leakage and the fluid is that of the shocks. In case leakages are detected, change the shocks as a set. Ensure that the shocks are properly mounted and are not damaged, examine the upper mounts to ensure they are not worn or damaged and replace them when required. Physically examine the steering and suspension parts to see evidence of damage, searching out problems with seals, boots, bushings and leaks. Clean the lower part of the steering knuckle and have someone roll the wheel in and out and ensure that there is no movement at the steering knuckle-to-control arm ball joint, any movement would signify that the suspension ball joint(s) should be replaced. Check the edges of each front tire and observe any play of the steering system parts, should there be any, examine the steering gear mounts and tie rod ends and see whether they are loose. Finally, examine the driveaxle boots which cover the Constant Velocity (CV) joints against dirt and wear and tear, any sign of a crack or a lubricating fluid leak requires replacement.
