211 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Quick question: Placing an order for inner and outer CV boots for an axle reboot on my 2k OBW. NAPA says they don't have a listing for 2000 year models but they have one for 2001. Are they the same? I'm assuming so since not much changed in the EJ models but just double checking. BTW; 15$ for the outer and 17$ for the inner. Non-split type. Reman'd they're $57 and both sides need to be done. Figured I'd save a couple bucks by doing it myself.

idosubaru Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Forget cost, remann'ed axles are so bad you're better off doing anything possible to avoid aftermarket axles, so you're on the right track. They have all sorts of issues. One of my best friends didn't listen and his new axle is already having clicking/noise issues after a couple months. I'd get the newest boots, they did change around 2000-ish sometime. But the newer axle boots are much better due to having more convolutions on the outer boot. the boots should be interchangeable. If you don't need the car, remove the axle and boot before going to the store and compare diameters of each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
