Detailed Description

GKN Loebro 306353 is a CV joint boot kit engineered for precise replacement on front axle outer joints. The boot material is rubber, with a 3.622-inch joint end inside diameter and a 0.944-inch shaft end inside diameter. Rib quantity is 1, and the boot is a solid, black design. Because CV joint failures often begin with torn, slipped, or porous boots, selecting the correct boot shape and material is critical for a proper repair. This kit is intended for applications where the original joint calls for a rubber boot, including many Audi A4 and A6 variants and Volkswagen Passat front outer positions.

This part cross-references 3B0498203B and 8D0498203C for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Torn CV boots that allow grease to escape
• Boots that have slipped off the joint or shaft
• Contamination entering the CV joint
• Noise caused by a worn or damaged outer boot
• Premature CV joint wear from loss of lubrication

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the joint design, position, and boot material before installation.
