Outer CV Boot

[robbob]

Ok so just got me car back from a Service at JKM, awesome job. Unfortunately they found that the Outer CV Boot has split again. Second time this has happened in less than a year. Anyone else had this problem or can think of a reason why? Also I need new front discs and pads. Can anyone recommend a set up please.

Car is a 2001 Leon Cupra

Thanks

Standard 312mm discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads all the way

My CV boot split recently, is your car lowered? That puts extra strain on the boot but it still shouldn't split so often if it's done properly.

Sweet thank you. No its not lowered.I replaced it last time and may or may not of done the clips up properly Wheres the best place to get standard discs from?

 

[kineticz]

So did the boot split or did a clip come off?

I only ask as I had a clip come off a boot 3 months after it was fitted, see this thread:

[robbob]

not sure as of yet ill have a look when its a bit dryer outside and let you know

 

[kineticz]

Likely if the clip came off the boot would split as well.

worth putting on a full cv joint really, then you have you boot clips nut and replace the join while you are at it and its apart, for the extra £20 i would, doubt it liked being with out its full complement of grease twice

Extra £20?
My new boot kit was about £25, from TPS I believe, and your saying I could have got a full joint including boot etc for about £45 or am I being a bit dim?

 

[xr2turbo]

yeah i got 1 from europarts for £43 posted, full kit

Thats because the TPS one is genuine and ECP is a pattern part?

 

[NickT]

Ooh feck, wish I'd known that 6 months ago!

Yer the £43 one is by Q-drive.
They have another one listed but not branded for £79.

I guess you pays your money...
