- Solid type boot construction for enhanced durability
- Black TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material for heat resistance and flexibility
- Non-vented boot design to maintain joint integrity
Durable Construction and Precise Fit
This CV joint boot kit features a solid, non-vented boot made from TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer known for its resistance to heat and environmental wear. The black boot is designed with a single rib to ensure a tight seal around the joint and shaft ends, which measure 3.385 inches and 0.984 inches inside diameter respectively. This precise sizing helps prevent contaminants from entering the CV joint, reducing the risk of premature wear or failure. The solid boot type offers enhanced protection compared to split designs, making it suitable for the demanding conditions faced by vehicles like the Volkswagen Jetta and Audi TT RS Quattro.

It is designed to replace worn or damaged CV joint boots, helping to maintain driveline integrity and prevent costly joint repairs.
Common Issues Addressed by This CV Joint Boot Kit
- Protection against dirt and moisture infiltration into CV joints
- Prevention of grease leakage from the CV joint
- Reduction of joint wear caused by environmental contaminants
- Elimination of noise and vibration due to damaged boots
- Extending the service life of the CV joint assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the CV joint and surrounding components are clean before installing the new boot. The solid boot design requires careful handling to avoid damage during installation. Verify the inside diameters of the joint and shaft ends match the specified 3.385 inches and 0.984 inches respectively for proper fitment. Use appropriate clamps or fasteners compatible with the boot to secure it firmly in place.
