Re: Split cv boots

I have not had much luck with quick fit boots. They are okay to get you home (so is a torn boot) but I would not leave it on. I know it's a pain to
put a real boot on, so sometimes it's cheaper and easier to get a used shaft with good boots on it and just replace the whole thing.
