CV boots

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

CV boots

Post by mlrailguy »

Time to replace my outer boots. Looking for boots that will take the high angles of my type 4 cv's. Any recommendations? Thanks

The stock ones for t4 cvs come to mind...

The Porsche 944 ones can sometimes be had cheap, possibly due to an old parts list.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

I've been using stock t4, but they only seem to last 1 season.

1: real ones? (VW/Porsche/Loebro not EMPI or other Chinesium)
2: Armor? (large beans cans, open on one end, I think someone makes thicker versions for purpose)
I have also seen bits attached to the trailing arm, usually open to rear, to allow easier service.
