Driveshaft boots
The sealing system of a CV joint plays a significant role for the lifetime of the whole driveline system and is the most susceptible product within the driveshaft. As a result, no compromises can be accepted regarding its design and material selection.
A comprehensive product range
A tailor-made boot for every joint
GKN Automotive’s boots are specifically developed for various joint designs, and their precise fit ensures optimum sealing of the joint. To achieve this, we use state-of-the-art computerised equipment to manufacture the boot.
Our boot kits contain all the individual parts needed for professional repairs: boot, boot circlips, tightening straps, bolts, nuts, spacers, etc.
Rubber boot kits
Our boots are designed to fit perfectly on the OE shaft as well as on the OE joint. Manufactured according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 the complete range comprises more than 40,000 car applications.
TPE boot kits
In addition to the exact fit, the right material is crucial to meet the demands of modern drives which transmit high torques that leads to increased heat development in the joints. OE manufactures therefore install boots made from thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) as they can withstand high service temperatures of up to 140°C, as well as having increased impact resistance and rotational stability.
Joint specific universal boots
A defective driveshaft boot should generally be replaced by the GKN Automotive replacement part specifically developed for the respective joint. In cases where the correct replacement boot is no longer available, GKN Automotive can supply reliable qualities of boots.
Five different joint specific universal boots are universally usable and yet most similar to OE boots.
Universal boots
GKN Automotive’s universal boot kits offer fast solutions, whatever the spec, and can be applied to all common passenger cars' driveshafts. They can be made suitable for all CV joint dimensions by cutting.
