OE-Quality CV Boot Kit for Volvo XC90

GKN Loebro 305142 is an OE-quality TPE CV joint boot kit built for driveline service on select Volvo XC90 applications. It is designed for front inner and rear inner positions where exact boot fit and heat-resistant material matter for joint protection.

• OE-style TPE boot material for high-temperature driveline environments
• Solid black boot design
• Joint end inside diameter: 4.125 in.
• Shaft end inside diameter: 1.877 in.
• Fits front inner and rear inner CV joint applications on select Volvo XC90 models
• Part number 305142 for direct identification

Built for Exact CV Joint Fit

This GKN Loebro CV joint boot kit is engineered around the joint, not just the axle, which is important because torn, slipped, or porous boots are common causes of CV joint failure. The TPE construction is suited to modern driveline heat loads and is specified for applications that originally used TPE boots. For Volvo XC90 service, 305142 supports the correct replacement fit on listed front inner and rear inner positions.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 8653876, 30787999) for the same application.

Common Problems This Boot Kit Addresses

• Torn CV boot causing grease loss
• Slipped boot that no longer seals the joint
• Porous boot material that allows contamination
• Heat-related boot deterioration in high-torque driveline use
• Noise or vibration caused by CV joint contamination after boot damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original boot material before replacement; if the driveshaft was equipped with a TPE boot, use the matching TPE replacement. Verify joint end and shaft end dimensions, rib count, and vehicle build details before installation. This kit is listed for 2003-2006 Volvo XC90 front inner and rear inner applications, including specific transmission and chassis-code notes. Part number 305142 should be matched to the exact vehicle configuration before service.

Quality Assurance

GKN Automotive supplies OE-quality driveline components, and GKN Loebro 305142 is built to the same fit-focused standard expected for CV boot replacement on Volvo XC90 driveline service.
