Are there any CV boots available with the multiple folds?

Postby pr129tbird » Mon May 07, 2012 1:22 am

The original style boots (and like ALL newer cars with FWD or independent rear ends that have half shafts) all use boots that have 4-6+ folds in them. I think the correct name is tuffets not folds but think of an according drinking straw that flexes and you will know what I mean. Anyway I find that the replacement boots ALWAYS tear and or pull off and dont last! Does ANYONE make a boot like the original or like newer cars? If not perhaps there is a boot that will work that someone's tried. I was thinking maybe a Tahoe, Navigator etc.. something with LARGE axles. THANKS in advance! Phil
