GKN Loebro 305147 CV Joint Boot Kit - Front Outer or Rear Outer

OE-Quality CV Boot for Volvo XC90

GKN Loebro 305147 is an OE-quality TPE CV joint boot kit for driveline repair on the Volvo XC90. It is built for exact joint fit and the heat resistance needed in modern AWD drivetrains, where torn, slipped, or porous boots are a common cause of CV joint failure.

Use this GKN Loebro 305147 boot kit when servicing a front outer or rear outer CV joint on the Volvo XC90 and the original shaft uses a TPE boot.

Key Features

• Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) boot material for high-temperature driveline use
• Solid, black boot design with 1 rib
• Joint end inside diameter: 3.917 in.
• Shaft end inside diameter: 1.122 in.
• OE-quality replacement from GKN Automotive
• Direct application coverage for Volvo XC90 front outer and rear outer positions

Detailed Description

This CV joint boot kit is engineered for Volvo XC90 driveline service where the original boot has failed or shows wear. The TPE construction is important on high-torque AWD systems because it handles elevated joint temperatures better than conventional materials. Exact boot fit matters: a boot that matches the joint helps keep grease contained and contaminants out, which protects the CV joint from accelerated wear.

GKN Loebro 305147 is listed for multiple Volvo XC90 applications from 2003-2014, including front outer and rear outer positions. It is also the correct style to look for when the original driveshaft was equipped with a TPE boot. This part cross-references 30788265 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Torn CV boot material
• Grease leakage at the CV joint
• Road debris and moisture entering the joint
• Boot slippage from a poor fit
• Heat-related boot deterioration on AWD drivetrains

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original boot material before ordering; if the factory shaft uses TPE, match it with a TPE replacement boot kit. Verify joint end and shaft end dimensions, rib count, and boot style against the existing part before installation. For Volvo XC90 fitment, review the chassis and transmission notes carefully, since coverage varies by model year, position, and drivetrain configuration. Fits 2003-2014 Volvo XC90, front outer and rear outer, with application-specific chassis and transmission notes.

Quality Assurance

GKN Automotive supplies OE-quality driveline components, and this boot kit is built to the same fit and material expectations used in original equipment applications. The part number is 305147.
