H22A Civic cv boot tearing problems, Help!
Ok I have an H22A in a 98 Civic CX hatch with Hasport mounts and axles. I have had this engine in this car for about 10,000 miles now. I am on my third set of Hasport/driveshaft shop axles. I have just torn another boot on the passenger side in under 2,000 miles. Or should I more accurately say wore the boot in half. My problem is the CV axles has such a steep angle going into the transmission that the boot wears on itself. As u can tell it doesnt last very long. Yes this does create vibration, just between the speeds of 25-45 MPH. Its almost as if the engine needs to come back farther, but unfortunately the engine is mounted very close to the firewall so that cant be it. The lower control arm looks straight, and unbent. Any ideas anyone on to why this is the way it is? Also anyone have any ideas on how to correct this problem or any ideas on possibly a polyurethane boot or something that will last longer? Anyone that has any knowledge on this please help.

I have had this problem too. The solution I found was to cut the metal ring that holds the boot onto the axle shaft and slide the boot further down the shaft and clamp it back together.

do you find that the boot still slips around a bit, because factory on mine it has a small groove for the clip to sit in
