CV Boot Slide - 2nd Gen

what do you mean by, "it slides" ? Are you sure it's in all the way? If it slides in and out it may not be engaged all the way in.

 

So its been a year or two since this thread was updated. Been noticing some fin rub on my boots, thinkin about doing this mod. for those that did this a while ago, did they hold up?

 

I feel this should be in here.

 

Just ordered a new front inner CV boot. Gonna cut off the narrow end of the old boot that has the ridges and leave it on the axle. Hopefully this will keep the boot from sliding back down and help seal it.



Will be changing that replacing the wheel bearing and installing UCA's soon.


My boot is pretty rough.

 

that's what mine is starting to look like. I've seen the other ways of doing this but I don't have any old or new boots layin around so I wanted to give this a try

 

Mine started getting grooved like that. I took the cv boot clamp off and used a hose clamp. No glue or anything and it's been 6 months of me driving 85 on the highway every day and trails on the weekend. So far its good

 

The boot I posted was $15 shipped to me.

 

Cool, good to know. I'm gonna use the method in this thread, and if it moves or slides on me, I'll order a couple new boots and try another way.

 

Where can I get a clamp crimper?

 

I have an aftermarket cv axle on the driver's side. can I do this boot slide method on the outer cv boot just as I would do a slide on the inner? driver's side I have wear on the outer boot, not the inner. passenger side is just the opposite. anybody have experience with sliding the outer cv boots?
