O'Reilly's CV


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to forewarn anyone that thought about getting CV boots from O'Reilly. I just replaced both of my inner CVs yesterday and I barely went 30 miles and I'm going to have to replace both of them. They both split completely through in under a hundred miles. Wherever they're sourcing these parts from they are crap.

Dorman OE Solutions. It looks like it is the only one they have listed on their site for the inners.

 

As a sidenote now that I have spent three times the value of the car on replacement parts I think it is going to be up for sale soon. Anyone looking for an 81 wagon in the Midwest? I have literally replaced just about everything you can replace. I have a completely rebuilt engine with about 2000 miles on it, a new weber carburetor and a slew of other items. I doubt that it is even worth 2500 but that's what I have to at least try to ask for it. Plenty of extra parts included (80 & 81 parts cars included for a bit extra)

Bad parts happen. Your 2 CV boots are in the minority. They might have been in a bad batch, or maybe they've been sitting on the shelf too long. This can happen anywhere, on any brand.

 

 

I'd put Dorman boots on my car any day.
