CV Boot

[Moz168]

Need to buy new CV boot but not sure which of these is the right kit.

Part numbers are different on each and it seems to miss out the 99 year.

Also does anyone know if these kits come with the grease? Doesnt say on there.

Thanks, Moz

supposed to be picking my car up from the garage, but they found a split boot, apparently you have to change the whole driveshaft as it comes as one unit!
not sure if theres any truth in it, garage is paying so i dont mind!

Thought that was only the case if it was the inner boot that had split?

Outter CV boots are about £12 from Renault if I've remembered correctly.

that probably is the case, i haven't actually bought the car yet! they're having to fix that for the MOT before they can sell it to me!

don't listen to me, still a noob!

I only need the boot/gaiter as it split when I caught it on the bottom arm bolt so I know it aint leaked and worn the bearings/shaft.
If its split and then been driven till its dry the drive shaft will seize, then it will all need replacing.

Anyone know which it is? I want to order it today as I am ordering a few other bits too.

how can you tell if its the inner or the outer ? mine maken a clicken when i pull out of junctions and a the odd squeek ?

look under your car! you can see if the boots split, and in most cases it will spray the CV greese everywhere in the wheel arch etc, which smells like liquid death!!! the inner one will be the one thats not right behind the wheel hub

al have a look mate.

my outer boot let go and sprayed crap all round the inside of the wheel. the actual boot was ok, just the clip had let it come loose. clip off, filled with grease and cabletied on sorted it out.

If its the inside you are gonna need to replace the whole shaft

For anyone that wants to know, the parts I linked to in the original post are just universal boots. The dedicated part isnt on the website so you need to phone them up, although its a bit more expensive. Ive just gone for the universal one, meh.

They are indeed £12+ VAT from Renault and come with 2 tiny packs of grease & a new clip

Bit late now lol. I got through to Euro car parts and he comfirmed the part but when i tried to phone back nobody picked up. Was ringing for aaages.

And Renault wanted £15+ plus VAT. :s
