FAQs
Does this kit include everything I need to replace one boot?
Yes, it includes the rubber boot (bellow), two metal clamping clips, and a packet of molybdenum grease.
Do I need a special tool to install this?
Yes, a CV boot clamp tool is highly recommended to ensure the clips are tightened to the correct specification for a secure seal.
How often should I inspect my CV boots?
It is recommended to inspect them during every routine service, such as an oil change or tire rotation.
Can I use universal grease instead of the included molybdenum grease?
It is strongly recommended to use the included molybdenum grease as it is formulated specifically for the high-pressure environment of a CV joint.
How do I know if this fits my car?
You should check the compatibility list against your vehicle's make, model, and year, or verify the part number with your vehicle's manufacturer service catalog.
Troubleshooting
Grease leaking from the edge of the boot
Ensure the clamping clips are tightened to the correct tension using a proper CV boot clamping tool.
Boot feels loose or slides on the axle
Verify that the correct groove on the axle is being used and that the clamps are fully seated in their designated tracks.
Difficulty sliding the boot over the CV joint
Ensure you are using a dedicated CV boot cone or the appropriate removal techniques for your specific axle geometry.
