Which boot kit for Torn CV boot?
hanzbe420 »
Hi all. I was looking under my car when i saw the torn CV boot and Grease all over my passenger rim. Now is there 2 axles 1 for each side or just 1 whole part i can buy?? and any other parts that i will need like seals or anything? and what site should i order from that has the best quality and price deal. please let me no. 1994 Volvo 850 turbo wagon. Links to exact parts would be appreciated!
I had to replace both of my front axles and used the EMPI’s. So far so good. TIP: When inserting the shaft back into the transmission make sure the circlip opening is facing down. It has been my experience that the shaft slides and locks in easier when the circlip is in this position.

I wouldn’t get that new fcp axle you listed. If you are not wanting to spend up for raxles.com, get the EMPI from fcp.
You need two parts, an axle and a seal. Some people don’t replace the seal if it isn’t leaking, but I would replace it. Just be careful putting it in, be sure to read up on how to do this job. It is a pretty easy one.
The WorldPac may be fine, I do not have an informed opinion on that one.

I tried the split boot solution. Can not recommend that way. Ended up going with new axles and boots. Should have gone that way first.

After going through a terrible set of Cardone rebuilts I went with a set of EMPI axles for the Platinum which were moderately better. That was maybe 18 months ago. While doing front brake pads last week I noticed that the inner CV joint boot is split out. I had a drive fest doing field work (3k miles in a week) and it is really clacking now. The only replacements I have been happy with have came from Raxles and that is where I am going this time for the replacement on the Platinum as well as the new axle I need for the ’94.
Luckily I have been saving the original OEM bad axles as I don’t think Marty will accept previously re-built or new Chinese axles as cores.

I ordered a REIN automotive CV boot kit for my 98 V70 NA 5 speed manual.
boot kit number is BKN0081R
I pulled the car all apart. (did not pull the old boots, just the halfshaft out.) As I had it on the bench, I was comparing the new boots with the originals. Yup, original to the car boots, 245,000 km of canadian winters and they are just now giving it up, but I digress.
I noticed of the new boots, one boot is a smaller size on the shaft (small end) end than the other. I’m confused as the small shaft is the same size throughout, I presume anyway that it is? shouldn’t both boots have the same small end size?
I have sent the place I ordered from the VIN, which they insist the correct part was sent.
Anyone else experience this before or know where may obtain the right part?
Thanks.
