Keep grease sealed in and road grime out of your inner CV joints with the Beck/Arnley CV Joint Boot Kit 103-2978. Cataloged for the FRONT INNER and REAR INNER positions, it's an application-specific replacement — not a universal boot — for a broad list of Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen models, including the 2006-2013 and 2015-2016 Audi A3, 2007-2015 Audi Q7, 2009-2017 Audi Q5, 2003-2006 Porsche Cayenne, 2006-2018 VW GTI, 2010-2018 VW Golf, and 2004-2017 VW Touareg. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full 33-application list and year ranges.
A torn or cracked CV boot lets grease sling out and dirt and moisture in, which accelerates joint wear. This kit replaces the boot before that damage spreads.
Note: this kit is not intended for installation tools that stretch the small end of the boot over the CV joint.
