CV Boots changed once a year

[SteelyDel]

Hi everyone!

I replaced my front CV boots once a year I don't know why, until I checked my tranny mounts both are gone! This week's repair are- one axle needs all boots the other only the outer. And I install a pair of used tranny mounts.

So (I think), my conclusion is that the tranny is just floating sideways and wreck havoc on the cvs.

Are there abundant supplies of these rubber mounts somewhere for my future use? Or anyone?

It's my 84 Brat.

Thanks

The mounts can really hurt the joints themselves, but not really be boots. Boots are usually a result of really thin rubber boots used by rebuilders. Or in the case of the passenger side the cat not having a heat shield.

 

Get some GCK axles and be done with axles for a LONG time (Autozone sells em).

Urethane boots are possible too - check into the VW aftermarket....

you can get new trans mounts from the dealer ($30ish each I think, maybe less if you buy them from a USMB-friendly dealer) and sometimes for a lot less on ebay.
