- Complete boot kit: includes the boot, grease, and clamps for the job.
- Extreme-pressure grease: the supplied grease includes an extreme pressure additive.
- Application-specific fit: made for your vehicle rather than a universal boot, and matches OE form, fit, and function.
- Installation note: not intended for installation tools that stretch the small end of the boot over the CV joint.
A CV boot flexes with the axle to hold lubricating grease around the CV joint while keeping out dirt and water. Once the rubber cracks or splits, grease slings out and contaminants get in, which can lead to a clicking or worn joint. If a torn boot is the cause, replacing it early helps protect the CV joint. Follow the vehicle service procedure for the correct clamp and grease packing steps.
