[urq] RE: CV Boot Question. Please Identify some VAG parts

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

Was wondering when the stock urq boot test wouldn't pass...  There are 2 variants of that boot, the one audisport liked to use, and the one we took off, was a very expensive silicone boot that is NLA (certainly: "priceless") as far as we could determine.  The design of the A.S. uprights really dictate that the common rubber variety won't fail in any rally environment short of Acropolis.  James, you should have a Lobro number on that boot, and it should cross reference to a more common application.  What we found over the years on the S2 is that AudiSport rarely built custom parts, but more built custom parts from various marques within euro-car stock parts bins.  We found that included the SMS 6speed rebuild, and the driveshaft boots.
