GKN Loebro 305629 CV Joint Boot Kit

OE-Style CV Boot Kit for Rear Range Rover

GKN Loebro 305629 is a premium OE-quality CV joint boot kit built for the rear driveline on select 2002-2005 Land Rover Range Rover models, to serial # 5A999999. It uses a TPE thermoplastic elastomer boot to match the heat and torque demands of modern drivetrains, with the exact fit needed to protect the joint from contamination.

Detailed Description

This CV joint boot kit is engineered around the joint’s dimensions, with a 4.960-inch joint end inside diameter, 1.338-inch shaft end inside diameter, and 103 mm length. GKN Automotive supplies the boot in TPE, the same material commonly used on original driveline applications where heat resistance and durability matter. For rear Land Rover Range Rover service, part number 305629 helps restore the protective seal around the CV joint and supports proper driveline operation after boot damage.

This part cross-references 50-0449 and VKJP 1053 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Torn CV boot material that exposes the joint to dirt and moisture
• Slipped boot fitment that allows grease loss
• Porous boot surfaces that no longer retain lubricant
• Grease contamination around the rear CV joint
• Noise or wear caused by loss of boot protection

Installation Notes and Tips

Match the replacement boot to the original joint design before installation. On vehicles originally equipped with a TPE boot, use the matching TPE replacement kit rather than a generic rubber substitute. Clean the joint thoroughly, inspect for wear, and follow the vehicle service procedure for clamp and boot positioning on the rear driveline.
