Just replaced my passenger side cv axle and the inner boot looks twisted or sucked in? Is this a problem and is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

 

I wouldn't think so imo, but did it look that way before installing?

 

Typical of aftermarket axles. Over time that boot will likely tear a small hole because of the pressure of spinning. I know from experience. You can either immediately swap it out with another from wherever you bought it or wait it out. Keep in mind it gets messy when the boot winds up tearing, it will sling grease all over.

 

No it didn't it did it right after I got it clipped into the transmission.

 

So what actually causes this to happen? Is there really no way to fix it? I saw some post on an atv website that said the boot needed to be burped by loosening the clamp to let in some air? Never had this happen don't want to kill a brand new cv axle.. Plus Honda MTF isn't cheap and I just changed that out too.

 

This can happen to any axle if it gets extended significantly. One of the clamps needs to be loosened to equalize the pressure inside to atmospheric. The boot will stay permanently deformed most of the time if left as is, and that does lead to premature failure.

 

Okay well what's the best way to do this without the risk of cutting the boot open?

 

When they tightened the clamp down the boot was pushed in.
