Is it obvious when a cv boot is going bad?

Grab a light and crawl under the X and touch the boot...
look close for any signs of dry root....if it is supple and plyable you should be ok...if it shows any type of cracking when you push your finger in, it will be in your near future.

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned this, but in the future, as a means of preventive maintenance, whenever you get under the car to change your oil, spray the boots (and all rubber for that matter) with Lexol's Vinylex. That, or some spray lubricant will keep the boots soft and supple like a baby's bottom.
