Nope... the CV boots are on the half shafts or axles that drive the car, two on each half shaft (inside and outside CV joints). The Boxster is RWD, so there are only CV joints in the rear. I had no problem with the steering with my torn CV boot, but I did hear more rotational noise in the rear and it was worse when cornering hard.

With the layout of the Boxster I couldn't see how torn CV boots would be related to difficult steering.
