CV Boots - universal ones ok?
RazMan - 15/5/06 at 05:55 PM

My Mondeo transaxle and driveshafts will need CV boots and I just want to check that the universal types like this sre truly universal.

As I am assembling new parts I havent got anything as a reference so any help is appreciated.

That's exactly what I have used Mike.

I didn't buy the fitting cones though.
Being a cheepskate I used the top of a plastic drinks bottle and lots of silicone grease

If using stretch boots get QH ones -- they are more expensive but much better.


The cheapest fitting cones are sold by http://www.buypartsby.co.uk

But the boots they sell are cheap but aren't great quality.I used Olive oil to lubricate the cones when fitting worked great
