The B&B Components Outer CV Boot Kit provides a durable replacement for a worn or damaged CV boot, ensuring proper protection for the CV joint and maintaining drivetrain performance.

FAQs

What material is the CV boot made from?

The CV boot is made from NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), which offers excellent resistance to heat, abrasion, and automotive fluids.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

The kit includes one outer CV boot and the necessary nut. However, specialized tools and CV joint grease are typically required and are not included.

How do I know if this is the correct part for my car?

This kit is designed for VW Golf/Jetta MK2 1.8 GTI & 16V (1984-1991). It is also compatible with many other VW, Audi, and Seat models. Please verify your vehicle's VIN and construction year against detailed specifications or contact our sales team if unsure.

What is the main function of a CV boot?

The CV boot protects the Constant Velocity (CV) joint from dirt, water, and debris, while also retaining the lubricating grease, preventing premature wear and failure of the joint.

Can I use this for an inner CV boot?

No, this is specifically an outer CV boot kit. Inner and outer CV boots have different designs and dimensions.

What should I do if my original CV boot is torn?

Replace the torn CV boot as soon as possible to prevent damage to the CV joint. Continuing to drive with a torn boot can lead to significant joint wear and costly repairs.

What is Item Number A231?

Item Number A231 is a unique identifier for this specific B&B Components outer CV boot kit, useful for referencing and ordering.

Troubleshooting

CV boot not fitting correctly

Double-check the vehicle's VIN and construction year against the compatibility list. Ensure you are using the correct boot for the specific axle (inner vs. outer).

Clicking noise from wheel area during turns

This usually indicates a damaged CV joint, possibly due to a torn boot. While this kit replaces the boot, the underlying joint may already be worn and might require inspection or replacement.

Difficulty installing the new boot

Ensure the CV joint is clean and properly greased. Refer to a vehicle-specific repair manual for the correct installation procedure and required tools.

Grease leaking after installation

Verify that the boot is securely clamped and that the nut on the CV joint is properly tightened. Inspect the boot for any accidental damage during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of an outer CV boot typically involves removing the wheel, unbolting suspension components to gain access, carefully removing the old boot, cleaning the CV joint, packing it with fresh grease, and fitting the new boot securely. The provided nut should be tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.

  • Verification: For absolute certainty, consult the detailed technical specifications for inner diameters, thread size, fitting position, and compatible VINs/construction years. If unsure, contact the sales team at 01622 685308 or 01622 677662.

Care:

Once installed, the CV boot requires minimal direct care. Periodically inspect the boot during routine maintenance for any signs of cracking, tearing, or excessive wear. Ensure the area around the boot remains free of excessive dirt buildup. No special cleaning agents are required; a visual inspection is the primary form of care.
