Civilian CV boot part number

[patracy]

Goofing around today I noticed that a CV boot is leaking on my 1038. Anyone have a civilian part number that can be used? (Didn't find one searching)

57k3515c ?

Yeah that's the AM General part number, but unfortunately it doesn't make sense to Advance Auto.

I would try Dorman 614001. Specs:
Inside diameter: 3.85 inch
Shaft end diameter. 0.93 inch

Dorman # 614003 is 3.44 & 0.98 inch respectfully. I would say order both, see which one matches up, and return the other one?

 

[patracy]

I'm thinking that 614003 is the way to go. The CV appears closer to that size. Afraid the 3.85 would be too large.

I have no idea either.
Does anyone know the cv joint diameter offhand?

Rockford sells the kit with clamps, etc. 815 962 1411 for customer service rep.

I know I can order them online, was just hoping for a civy part number to pick it up locally today.

Personally....I don't bother replacing CV boots. You can get a half shaft for so cheap its not worth the labor.
amd if it's an outer boot, forget it, you have to replace both anyway.
if it's the newer A2 HS is takes a plastic type boot, not the old rubber version easily torn. They are not interchangeable and that good it like 45.00 or more.

use duct tape...it last for some time.

The dorman 614-003 worked.

The dorman 614-003 worked.

It.does depend on what halfshaft ypu have...A0-1 or A2....

Boot was only $19 with grease, would have been cheaper online if I waited. There's a cool trick with a funnel for boots without having to tear them down I use.

Had the CV been clicking or leaking since the time I had it, I'd have replaced the halfs. But since it literally opened up yesterday I decided to try the quick and dirty fix.

Just to clarify- did this boot work on a 12k shaft?

I'd love to see a video of someone actually replacing the boot. Does the above work? Doesn't it rip the smallest portion?

I don't have the tools I guess. I cut the boot off of one I replaced and I'll be darned if I could figure out how to replace it. I've seen so many comments about replacing them, even someone has a short video on replacing but they don't show _actually_ replacing it. They talk to it.

Nope. I'm not running 12K shafts.

Didn't tear mine when I did it.
