OE-Style CV Boot Kit for Volvo Driveline Repair

GKN Loebro 306184 is a CV joint boot kit built for OE-style driveline service on select Volvo applications. It uses a TPE boot design for heat resistance and exact joint fit, helping protect the CV joint from contamination and grease loss.

For Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50 driveline repairs, this boot kit is specified for exact-fit replacement where the original shaft uses a TPE boot. The GKN Loebro 306184 part number is also listed for cross-reference use in matching applications.

Detailed Description

This CV joint boot kit is engineered for driveline and axle service where the boot must match the original joint design. The TPE construction is important on modern drivetrains because higher torque and heat can shorten the life of an incorrect replacement boot. When servicing a Volvo C30, Volvo C70, Volvo S40, or Volvo V50, use the listed fitment and joint dimensions to confirm the correct application before installation. The GKN Loebro 306184 boot kit is built to restore the protective seal around the CV joint and help maintain proper grease retention.

This part cross-references 5N514C062AB and 31256016 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 leakage
• Porous or aged boot material that no longer seals properly
• CV joint contamination that can lead to clicking or vibration
• Heat-related boot deterioration on high-torque driveline systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original driveshaft uses a TPE boot before ordering. Match the joint end and shaft end inside diameters to the existing assembly, and verify the vehicle notes for replacement driveshaft or chassis-number requirements. This kit is listed for front and rear Volvo S40 applications, plus front applications on Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50, including front inner and outer coverage on the 2004 Volvo S40 with the specified 26 mm IC shaft diameter note.

For Volvo C30, Volvo S40, and Volvo V50 service, follow the exact fitment notes closely because several listings apply only to vehicles with driveshaft replacement or specific chassis breakpoints.

Quality Assurance

GKN Automotive supplies OE-quality driveline components and designs these boot kits to match the original joint application. The TPE boot material is selected for the heat demands of modern drivetrains, and the kit format supports professional CV joint repair using the correct replacement boot for the specified vehicle.
