CV boot


Recommended Posts

Actually this the second time for doing it. First time it came from the factory (World Pack) CarQuest] and I replaced my failing one. So I tore the inner band off and zip tied it. Then it has done it again after being zip tied.

You need real clamps.

 

The zipties are letting air out when it warms and expands.....then it seals well enough under vacuum as it cools down.

 

You need to squeeze most of the air out with the joint compressed to about 2/3 in.........then clamp it tightly with a proper CV clamp

 

The boot should be slightly "sucked in" when cold....the air and grease inside expand when hot.  Possible you have too much grease in there too.
