Title: Best quality cv boot?
Post by: Keekster64 on May 28, 2023, 01:33:29 PM
The rhs outer cv boot is just started to split on my 1991 golf driver. It’s the original boot. The quality of rubber isn’t that great these days to does anyone recommend a particular brand of boot? I tend to buy febi bilstein parts when I can get them but I’ve not bought one of their cv boots before.
Thanks K

I ended up Fitting  Febi boot.  Its plastic and the fit was very good.  Squeezing the clips, even with the right tool, wasn't easy though.

I bought a whole driveshaft. Each CV was about 20 and the faff involved. I bought the complete new driveshaft for £60 delivered. Has a 2yr warranty and looks to be excellent quality. Really pleased with it. I used J & R - https://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/
