Re: CV Boot under warranty?
CV Boots are not covered by warranty as they would usually tear and crack from either age (which is not the case here) OR being clipped with a sharp object in an off-road situation (which more than likely what happened in your case).
I don't think Nissan would replace these under warranty, but as Nath mentioned, they're very cheap (approx. $80 max. I would think)
If the damage is recent, you don't need to worry abut further complications to the CV joints and the like, as the grease would still be there.

Re: CV Boot under warranty?
That is good news indeed.
Do you know if they replaced just the CV boot or the whole drive shaft?
DoctorX just called me and advised that he had exactly the same problem (for the 2nd time around now)
It was covered by warranty as well, but Nissan told him that it is easier to replace the whole drive shaft than just changing the CV boot, which sounded a bit strange to me.

Re: CV Boot under warranty?
G'day all,
I think this is the right place for this question, as I didn't really want to start a new thread.
I am having some light vibration coming through the steering and can hear/feel a very low whir, if that makes sense. I'm suspecting that it might be CV boot/joint related, given that I got a lift put on a few months ago.
I've had a quick look at the CV boots, but being a bit of a gumby I'm not sure what I'm looking for exactly. The boot is covered by a black concertina like casing. I'm assuming that this isn't the boot. Can this be removed to inspect the boot/joint more closely? Nothing appears amiss from what I can see.
Thanks
