Detailed Product Overview

This CV joint boot kit is engineered for driveline repair where the original boot has split, slipped, or become porous. GKN Loebro 300494 follows the fit and material requirements of the original joint application, which is especially important on vehicles that use a rubber boot rather than a TPE design. For Audi A4 Quattro and Audi A6 Quattro driveline service, as well as Volkswagen Passat rear inner applications, the correct boot profile helps maintain joint protection and grease retention. This part cross-references 3B0498201 and 8D0498201 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Grease leakage from a torn CV boot
• Road grit entering the CV joint
• Boot cracking from age and heat exposure
• Boot slippage at the joint or shaft end
• Noise or vibration caused by contaminated CV joint components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the joint end and shaft end diameters before installation, and match the boot material to the original driveline design. This part fits 2001 Audi A4 Quattro, front inner; 1998-2001 Audi A6 Quattro, rear right inner and rear left inner; and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Passat rear right inner, rear left inner, and rear inner positions, including the listed 2001-2002 Passat VIN and equipment-specific applications. For Volkswagen Passat and Audi Quattro service, verify the axle position and vehicle notes before assembly to ensure the boot matches the joint exactly.
