Detailed Product Description

This CV joint boot kit from GKN Loebro, part number 306053, is crafted to meet the exact specifications required by various BMW xDrive models. The solid black boot is made from thermo plastic elastomer (TPE), which offers excellent resistance to heat, oil, and environmental contaminants. The boot features a single rib design that ensures a tight seal around the joint and shaft ends, with inside diameters of 3.267 inches and 0.964 inches respectively, providing a precise fit to prevent grease leakage and contamination.

Unlike vented boots, this solid type design helps maintain the integrity of the CV joint by preventing dirt and moisture ingress, which can lead to premature wear. The black color provides a professional finish that matches OEM standards.
