Im after opinions on what cv boots to buy. last time i got some from bnt but after a week they had split again.

the cars quite low so im guessing that might have something to do with them splitting.

i remember hearing the toyota ones are pretty good, can some one confirm this please.

i need both inner and outer

Yeah Toyota ones are good.
What brand were the BNT ones? They used to be good.

by **deaf_rattle** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 9:07 pm

id just get genuine ones if they arent too expensive. that way you know they will fit properly.

by **sergei** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 11:04 pm

Genuine are the best ones

.
As for the brands the Silverline or whatever repco sells comes in "pre cracked" condition.

dose anyone know this trick? im waiting for an answer before i replace them!

If it's the trick I'm thinking I saw Barry post ages ago, he puts a split pin between the cv boot and the axle to allow them to vent. Not sure if he's fine tuned what exactly he does?

Ah here we go:

Yes thats what I think it is. I actually install a split pin under neath the boot before I clamp it on. To re leave some pressure on the inside. Def helps alot.

i got genuine trademe ones this time. im yet to put these ones on (waiting for bazdas reply

)

hey,

I put a 3mm thick split pin under where the cv boot seals onto the shaft.
Zip tied that down where it sticks out, then put the cv clamp over the boot which also holds the split pin in place.

This allows the cv to breathe better! and no grease comes out there at all.
