I doubt if keeping the car garaged will extend the serviceability of cv boots
outer boots are made of rubber , some inner boots are made of plastic . I think the deterioration begins from the inside due to the grease which gets hot and liquid . same deal as the crankcase vent hoses rotting due to hot oil mist . parking near electric motors will rot rubber rapidly due to ozone being produced . parking near any sort of electrical field can have other dire consequences for the car . it can prevent the key remote from communicating . |

Had my outer's changed twice now, well, not mine as they are beyond repair, but the X5 was fitted with cheapo rubbish as a quick fix by the previous owner.
Got heavy duty ones installed and only when I got a CV joint failure did I swap the boot as it was included on the assembly. Double check they packed the joints with CV grease specifically, the reason mine failed as the indy is in fact a retard... |

Hmmm, difficult one without removing the metal bands that hold the boot in place, then replacing them to a good standard to keep all the grease in.
If you get a chance to 'look interested' it might pay to have a look when its being done, that said not all indy's are like my ex-indy |
