He means toe-in and toe-out not tow.

That's the problem leaving the auto spelling correct on your iPad and not checking your post

can be worn but if the split is not allway through and not letting out its grease packing then it should be advisory.

If its split then it must be all the way through or it would just be a scratch.

You can now get the cv boots that are put on without the need for dismantling the suspension.

Basically, they are split in two, and you glue the joint together once on.

Example:

wouldnt recommend cheap cv joint kits if you dont manage to clue them well it will end up costing a lot more than a genuine cv boot when you have to replace the whole driveshaft due to a worn cv joint
better paying alittle extra and getting it done properly then doing a cheap repair and having to redo it

Unable see the kit as the link doesn't work for me but you will also need to repack the joint with the correct graphite type grease, is the grease included ?

I've never liked grease and glue.

Has anyone used the split typre of boot, and what result did you have?
