CV boot replacement

[n/a]

hey guys, wondering if there is a need to use genunie Honda parts for CV boot replacement.

thanks.

i just went down to a place called tuner enterprises, casue honda wanted like 200 bucks for two or something

and i got a pair of non honda ones inner and outer both sides for 90 bucks :P and they 5 year warranty :P

but no you dont NEED honda ones as long as they fit well and good quality


i would suggest not getting the split boots becasue theses can fall apart and casue problems :P

i have no honda ones on my car atm, outer boots only, they were like $11.00 each, holding up well for the moment :thumbsup:

cool stuff, whats a outer and inner boot?

Ones for the outer joint, the others for the inner joint.

[lerroy]

Inner boot is the the boot nearest the middle of the car or closest to the drive shaft bearings

the outer is just before it connects to the wheel

see below for link to team integra article
but as i said dont get split one like the guy did in tyhat article there not as strong

i got them from a place on northern beaches

but im sure alot of palces can sell u some, hannys etc..

and yeah to replace you need to pull out the drive shaft to do inner and to do outer you need to remove the brake drum part so you can access behind it ( sorry my terms of parts is limited hehe)

I think what lerroy means is that you need to take the hub nut / axle nut off and pop the drive shaft out to do the outer boot :)

Hannys do both outer boots for about $100

[lerroy]

yeah thansk wyn :P

its a dam messy job having to pack the boots again for 100 bucks i would recommend getting hannys to do it...well worth it unless you wanna learn or bored ehhe :P

good luck
