CV boot leaking!!!

[harrybeast76]

I put a 2 inch OME lift on my 03 TR4 in September. Recently I was working underneath and I noticed that the CV boot s on both axles have begun to leak. They are not ripped, just leaking. I was wondering if my lift kit could have caused this to happen, as I have never had anything like this happen before. And if so how do I go about fixing it so it won't happen again. I bought 2 boot replacement kits from Toyota though some guys at the Navy Hobby shop think I should prob just get some new 1.5 inch clamps and some axle grease, or use a hose clamp. Any information on this matter would be helpful.

If you lift, then expect this to happen more often. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to fix.

With the same problem I had. I cut the stainless steel clips and changes it with plastic tie wrap. Works well

Thanks for the help guys. This is kinda the same game plan that the guys in my local Navy Hobby shop came up with. I am going to give it a whirl this weekend if I have my 4runner back since its in the shop for some unrelated work.

Inner CV boot

I am having the same problem with my inner cv boot on the passenger side. I still have the extended warranty up to 72k miles. I decided to go with an after market cv boot with more flex.
