Trying To Change Cv Boots

[IndiEP]

I'm changing my clutch and I need/want to replace all the grease boots on the front axles. Napa says that theres two different manufactures of axles and they need to know which mine are so the right sizes can be orderd. I've checked the axles and there are no apparent markings, also checked VFAQ, nothing. There either NTN or..._ _ _...something three letters. Thanks

Get the best NAPA has, the cheap ones will rip in a week. The guy behind the counter is not right, thay have shit and good thats the two choises :goodluck:

I dont think there are two manufactures of the shafts, I could be wrong, but I would have to agree that there is two levels of boots cheapo and good stuff. Make the right decision and pay some more bling and get the stuff that last. Just like Tie rod ends dont go cheap buy the high quality moog ones LOL

CV boot -NSK- Design from NAPA are the good ones.

Have you tryed looking at them? I think I saw the letters NTN on my rear ones last time I was under there.

Yeah i did look at 'em and couldn't find any markings. But where should it be? shaft, CV?

-NTN-, -NSK- are just different brands of Boots -the shafts are the same-!
Call NAPA ask for Mike @ 763-425-4488 its the one in Osseo. or go to Thepartsbin.com thay only have one # for boots :goodluck:

Yeah I found NTN, it's on the outter lip of the CV boot. I just decided to get new axles, it really doesn't cost that much more and the milage is getting up there. Thanks guys.

I've been getting my parts from the osseo napa, they have been very helpful so far.
