Split CV Boots?
Did a search and did not come up with anything. I need to replace a torn CV boot on my 01 Boxster S. Does anyone know of any company that sells split CV boots?

LOL! Good luck with that...
Replacing your CV boots is a FUN job. I take it to my mechanic. YMMV

Complete remain axles are ~$100, not that bad. Good how to here, http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...nt_-_Boots.htm

I think you will find the consensus is DO NOT use a split boot. Pull the axle and replace the boot with a one-piece boot.

Split boots (if they even make them for a Boxster, and I doubt it) are a temporary band-aid, not a fix.

I found on the 986forums that some people have used split boots with no problems. With that said, no one can seem to give me an answer as to where they got them from. I work at a shop so doing the work myself is no problem. Looks like I will just have to end up getting a non split boot. Oh well.

Don't. Use. A. Split. Boot.
If you work at a shop, why would you risk you car by doing a marginal fix? In fact, if you get the shop discount, might be much more worth it to replace with a full built axle. Value your time... Peter
