How often do i have to change the cv boots or joints?

do the cv boots or joints affect all the wheels or the front wheels only?How often do i have to change the cv boots or joints?
Only if they leak or are making noise...

I've seen cars with 225000 miles with orgional cv bootsHow often do i have to change the cv boots or joints?
cv boots need only be changed when damaged,cut.

some joints can be lubed others only need to be changed when they start to bind or make noise,usually caused after

the boot is cut and allows the grease to leak out. on front wheel drive vehicles has cv joints as rear wheel drive vehicles

have u joints in the drive shaft.How often do i have to change the cv boots or joints?
CV boots are lasting much longer on newer cars. Older cars boots would split open more easily and lose their joint grease as well as become contaminated with road dirt. So as long as the boot remains intact, you can expect CV joints to last maybe even the life of the car. Usually there's plenty of warning when they start to wear out, with clicking noises on turns etc. They're also used in 4 wheel drive applications in other drive shafts.How often do i have to change the cv boots or joints?
Change boots right when they split. Noise when they corner and accelerate and click the CV has to much slack. Clicking joints have been know to fail and need rebuilding or replacement.. All wheel drive cars may have 8 or more CV joints.How often do i have to change the cv boots or joints?
WHEN THEY ARE CUT, TORN, LEAKING OR MAKING A NOISE.
