This is my 1988 Rally Saab 900 T. The left side boot ripped at a rally -X and a few weeks later it made the crunch noise upon slow steering with the throttle applied. I figured it was time for a boot and repacked the Constant velocity joint.

For B5 VW Passat with automatic transmission – a cheap rebuilt joint on the driveaxle can result in driveline vibration when stopped in drive or reverse gear that goes away in neutral. This is why on the B5 Passat or Audi with auto trans, you don’t want a cheap rebuilt axle from your the local parts store. See http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/b5/CV-boot-broken-replacement.htm for the repair procedure and how to replace the CV boot.

CV Boot

The rubber part of the driveshaft assembly / CV Axle is known as the CV boot, which is secured with stainless steel clamps. We call it cv boot clamp. The purpose of CV boot is to protect the internal components of the CV joint by retaining the lubricant, and also acting as a dust shied.

CV Joint Rubber Boot

CV boots have different shapes and sizes. The bellows on the boot determine the amount of movement the boot tolerates. The type of boot to be used depends on the CV joint type; boots either have locking lips or they are plain on the retaining profile.

Most problems with CV joint is due to the CV boot getting broken, and the lubricant leaking out and getting dried, so inspect the cv joint boot and the lubricant periodically.

Tripod Joint

Tripod Joint is used at the inboard end of car driveshafts, it enables power transmission even in case of angle shifting. Tripod Joint has needle bearing / barrel-shaped rollers mounted on a three-legged spider / three-pointed yoke, instead of balls bearings. These fit into a cup with three matching grooves, attached to the differential. The rollers are mounted at 120-degrees to one another and slide back and forth in tracks in an outer “tulip” housing.

This three-legged spider with tripod has only limited operating angles, but is able to plunge in and out with a longer distance as the suspension moves. A typical Tripod joint has up to 50 mm of plunge travel, and 26 degrees of angular articulation.
