Product Information
Full details
The LÖBRO CV Joint Boot (306353) is a vital replacement component for vehicle owners performing front axle maintenance on select Volkswagen, Audi, and Skoda models. Engineered to provide a robust seal, it protects the CV joint from debris, moisture, and grease loss, which is essential for maintaining drivetrain longevity. While it offers premium build quality and precise dimensions, users should note that this specific boot is designed exclusively for the wheel side of the front axle, requiring careful measurement before installation to ensure perfect fitment.

FAQs
Is this boot compatible with both manual and automatic transmissions?
Yes, the 306353 is compatible with both transmission types as long as the vehicle model and axle configuration match.
Can I use this on the inner (transmission side) axle?
No, this part is specifically designed for the wheel side. The inner side typically requires different dimensions.
Does this kit include the necessary grease?
Standard LÖBRO kits typically include grease, but you should verify the contents upon delivery to ensure you have enough for a full re-pack.
How often should I inspect the CV boot?
It is recommended to visually inspect the boots for tears or grease spray every 10,000 miles or during seasonal tire rotations.
Is special equipment needed to install the clamps?
Yes, an ear-type CV boot clamp tool is required to ensure the seal is airtight and secure.
Troubleshooting
Grease leaking near the wheel hub
Check if the boot clamp is loose or if the boot has been punctured by road debris.
Clicking noise when turning
If the boot is torn, the joint may already be damaged. Replace the boot and inspect the CV joint for wear; if the joint is pitted, the entire axle assembly may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting the installation, verify your vehicle's specific axle assembly, as this part fits the wheel side of front axles on models like the Audi A4, A6, A8, Allroad, VW Passat, and Skoda Superb.
Installation Steps:
- Safely lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel.
- Disconnect the necessary suspension or steering components to access the CV axle.
- Remove the old, damaged boot and thoroughly clean the CV joint of old grease and debris.
- Slide the new boot onto the drive shaft, pack the joint with the appropriate CV grease, and secure both ends with industrial-grade crimping clamps.
- Reassemble the suspension components and torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specification.
Care Instructions: Avoid using petroleum-based solvents for cleaning, as these can degrade the rubber. Periodically inspect the boot surface for signs of dry rot or cracking during routine oil changes.
