For a ripped CV boot, symptoms aren't all that important. It's just too easy to actually LOOK & see whether it's ripped. Usually after the boot rips, it throws all the grease out, water & crud get in there. Then after a little while, the CV joint starts making noise. By that time it's too late to replace just the rubber boot.
