Check it out, I've had to replace my passenger side halfshaft over 3 times in the last 6 months. I can get halfshafts for $50.00 so replacing the boot doesn't make sense. It seems that as soon as I get a new axle in there, the boot rips. The problem started occuring once I dropped in my 97 F22 vtec in. Should I be buying a different axle for this engine? Does anyone know of a place to buy really strong halfshafts with a strong boot? Please Help.
Thanks.

 

halfshafts do not have boots

 

Accords go through cv boots quick, but not that quick. Is your car lowered? That will put more stress on them.

 

what axles are you using? are you using the original ones that came on your car.?

 

Dude, same thing. My passenger side halfshaft busted in less than 9 months. I replaced it and I think so far it's fine. My car is stock, completely. I'll check it later, It's weird!

Which boot? Inboard or outboard? Does it tear like it was stretched & pulled apart? Or does it crack like it was make of bad-quality rubber?

 

My like "slices". It's a clean rip, no cracking. It's really weird.

 

I think I can help you with this one. You are probably damaging the boot while you are putting it in. Be very careful with the damper fork, and to not pull on the axle too much.

 

Thanks, Yeah, it's holding up so far. And when I put it in, it didn't connect the lower fork. So it should be good! Thanks!

 

where do you get your axles from? are they remaned? I just had my cv boot rip as well on the passenger side....
