914World.com _ 914World Garage _ CV Joint boots...

Posted by: Lawrence May 22 2005, 07:32 AM

I ordered some boots for the /6 that I squirrled away for "just in case". But I need to R&R one on the Aubergine car.. I've found a small cut that started to sling grease.

Are the boots the same for both 4s and 6s? I'm pretty sure the CVs themselves are different.

ETKA says the boot is unique to the 914.6 and the "sealing sleeve" that consists of everything from the boot to the CV joint covering flange for the /4 are different.

but AFAIK the only real difference between /4 and /6 CV's is the count of the inner spline.

so - they're *probably* interchangeable, unless the /4 boot is vulcanised to the inner flange or something, in a VW value-engineer cost-cutting move. i haven't done /4 CV's so i can't say for sure there...

Rusty, I have one here that I was going to use on one of my cars, maybe even two. I bought them a few years ago on Ebay. I used two and still have two left. Let me know if you need them. I dont think they are NLA?

You can find boot kits from Tweeks (just looked at their catalog). I'm sure that PP, AA, GPR, etc have them too; they ain't that special.
