exit34rocker1017 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Apparently aftermarket. I compared and the axle itself in between both boots is definitely thicker than the OEM one. I've had them since October '08 and they're still going strong. Also, a good way to extend the life and durability of the CV boots is to apply silicone spray. i have some silicone spray, but where exactly do i spray it?

exit34rocker1017 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 quick question, when i lock the hubs and engage 4x4, i hear clicking from the wheel that has the broken CV. when i drive straight its constant clicking only when i am applying the gas pedal. it gets faster when i give it more gas and stops when i let off the pedal. also if i am going slow and turn to either the right or left, it starts clicking (which is a different louder sound than the previous). this is only in 4wd and is only on the side of the car with the broken CV boot. is it CV thats making this noise? thanks!

laxman0324 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 There is this option which looks like a quick fix as well. I've never used one so I can't tell you if they work well or not. 4x4 parts zipboot Those are designed as a temporary solution if you rip one on the trail...they are no good for a long term solution...
