boots

Did anyone replace ball joint boots on lower front arms? So far the only exact match I found in USA is Febest's VWBJB-001. Besides relatively high price, their quality seems to be quite poor. I'm surprised that no one else sells this size.

...vice about 100k miles for stock boots. the guy who bought my 99 B5 was working in my garage the other evening, doing brakes all the way around. he noted the CV joint was torn and starting to sling grease. I exchanged emails with Marty, and he said ship it to him and he'd take care of it...

"Our fun old vehicles have spark plug wires that go bad over time, but our new daily drivers have no spark plug wires and their ignition systems are maintenance free." True or False? "Half-True" is the right answer! Most newer engines do not have spark plug wires, but they do have Spark Plug...

Hey guys, been a long time lurker since I bought a 2003 VW Passat 1.8L Turbo for my wife. We bought the car for $2,700 in 2013 knowing that the car will need some work on it. Lurking around here, I know that you guys are knowledgeable and just great. I wish I had posted earlier to introduce...

I did a search but still didn't get all my answers yet ;) I went for an oil change today. The mechanic showed me that both of my cv boots are torn and one of them is out of grease. He quoted me $560 for new axles + labor (non OEM parts I assume). My question is that how do you know when you...

I just joined passatworld today, so hello to the members! Hoping to get a little mechanical guidance that I can pass on to my mom for her 2005 Passat wagon. It has the small turbocharged engine. That's all I know about the car, and I am getting the info by long distance telephone. She is in her...

The quality of Marty's work and his reputation for standing by the customer is not in question. I am curious to see how long the better CV boots that he uses last in the real world. Have any of you had a boot failure on a Raxles axle, and what kind of warranty came into play as a result...

Ok well. I was working on a evap leak that I needed to fix for a while now when I noticed this. (sorry so blurry.) So looks like I'll be taking it in soon for some repairs. Also is there supposed to be a bolt in there? lol. Just noticed when I pulled back the wheel lining. Also what...

Anyone interested in this? I have run a similar GB some years ago with quite a success... They are top quality automotive grade italian leather, either solid or perforated, different colors, different stitching, different makes and models too. Model specific, not just universal leather boot...

Hi, When i removed the passenger side tire, i saw some grease on the area close to the inner cv boot, close to outer cv boot and so on. I checked the boots thoroughly and could not find any cut or aging symptoms. Also i hear no clicks on turns and heard a click once when i was coasting and then...

So how long do I have before the seals go South? I think Bilstein Sport Shocks are what I am looking for, all I want is a nice ride and decent handling. Would I need to change the springs if they are still functional? I am on a budget, so stock springs would be a better bet, but what do you guys...

I had my axles replaced a couple years ago, and the rubber boots went to shit in probably six months or so. I had them replaced with silicone boots, which have held up much better. Now I need to get one axle replaced (again), but the shop doesn't remember where they found the silicone boots last...
