CV Boot failing

[Mille_ed]

Anyone know the cv boot part numbers?

I don’t remember complaining on here about it being warrantied. It was a question asking if anyone has had similar problems. Try again.

I guess I misread or misunderstood something. I thought you felt that there was a common problem with the CV boots and I was saying its a normal thing with lifted and lowered cars.

Ford “fessed up” on all of those concerns and either issued a recall or extended warranty. They’re not KIA/Hyundai, Toyota, or Honda that cover up the defect and only do a recall when forced to by NHTSA. In fact, KIA/Hyundai was just fined $70 million by NHTSA for covering up defects related to their engine failures across multiple models. Don’t get me started on the Honda/Takata fiasco. OEMs all have product issues/defects, what matters is how they handle them.

If Ford had a “bad batch” of CV boots they’d issue a TSB or SSM. The fact of the matter is there is no “bad batch” nor are there widespread issues, even on the forums. If you lift your truck and your CV joint or boot fails, that’s on you. Same applies to any manufacturer.

Do you really believe there is no correlation between OP’s lift and both axle boots failing? Let’s not be ridiculous.

Haha yah honda is a hot mess. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on ford fessing up, settlements mean they just don't want it going to court and reaching a verdict. I've seen tons of people with geisers and eibachs not have a single problem with boots ok the axle. Mine failed on the same axle, passenger side, but on each side of the axle. So I guess maybe more the question should be...how are all of these other people with the same trucks doing the same things with the same springs and not having issues?

Do you run 4 wheel drive a lot or have IWE deletes? Just curious.

No iwe deletes, 4wd maybe quarterly at offroad events otherwise it's always in 2wd. Maybe awd if we see snow or ice which doesn't happen much here.

I'm almost certain that the entire axle shaft assembly is a singular part number from ford. You can separate the shaft from the CVs without too much of a hassle ( watch youtube videos for the tricks to release the snap rings).

I cant remember the exact part number, but if you call Kartek, they will give you the correct part number. IIRC the boots are for 930Cvs.

If you want to get extra Gucci, you could use leather boots for 930 CVs, but I haven't tested how they hold up to daily driver duties so YMMV.

If I ever go back to 4wd, I'll most likely call RCV and order their axles with their super durable boots. Then I'll run the enhanced engagement IWE rings that they make as well.

Since running IWE eliminators, I'd recommend shying away from them and instead just run the enhanced engagement rings. ( because I feel that it will save your CV boots.)

This is what i ordered for myself. It will take 2-3 more weeks to arrive but i hope it is correct part i ordered.
