I'm replacing my CV boots and am unsure about the clamps. The product description mentions some installers skip them. What's the deal?

For most 2WD Bus and Vanagon applications, installers often opt out of using the clamp on the small end of the CV boot, as it can sometimes lead to premature wear. You don't need to worry about grease leaking if you skip it. However, for the front outer boot on 4WD Syncros, both inner and outer clamps are crucial for a proper seal due to a specific groove design. This bundle includes all necessary clamps where they are required for optimal CV boot performance.

What makes these "DuroGreen" CV boots superior to standard rubber ones, and what are the benefits of HNBR material?

The "DuroGreen" CV boots are made from HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), a high-performance synthetic rubber that significantly outperforms standard NBR or natural rubber. HNBR offers enhanced durability, a wider operating temperature range, and better resistance to chemicals and weather. While more expensive to produce, its superior longevity makes it a more cost-effective choice in the long run, especially considering the labor involved in replacing CV boots. Our DuroGreen boots, distinguished by their green color, are engineered for maximum durability.

What components are included in this CV Boot bundle for 2WD versus 4WD Vanagons?

This bundle provides all the necessary components for a complete axle CV boot replacement. For 2WD Bus or Vanagon models, you'll receive four GoWesty DuroGreen boot kits, each containing a boot and the required grease. For 4WD Vanagon (Syncro) models, the bundle includes four GoWesty DuroGreen boot kits for the inner boots, along with two specialized GKN/Lobro front outer boot kits, also supplied with grease, ensuring correct fitment for both drive types.

What is the expected lifespan of these DuroGreen CV boots, and what warranty coverage is provided?

We offer a 10-year, no-hassle warranty for the original owner on our DuroGreen CV boots, covering material defects. If a boot fails due to a manufacturing issue within this period, we will replace it free of charge, reflecting our confidence in their durability. While labor and shipping are not included, this warranty provides peace of mind. Additionally, we have a 6-month, no-questions-asked return policy if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase.

Finally, a CV boot that will last like an OEM German-made boot!

When it comes to DIY maintenance, a good place to save a few bucks is in the axle area. Axle maintenance is truly one of the great VW rites of passage. Go ahead and get after it!

Made of the absolute best, longest-lasting material available on this and all other carbon-based planets. Impervious to the aggressive chemicals found in CV grease, and won't sweat a drop when exposed to CV temperatures. And, there is icing on the dam cake! We engineered a nifty grease dam feature that helps keep the grease in the CV joint where it needs to be! Not even the crafty Germans thought of that!

This boot is the new green standard. It's not just a boot. It's a great dam boot!

*Product note: To clamp or not to clamp? Great question! Some boot kits arrive pre-packaged with clamps for the small end of the boot. Most installers choose to omit this clamp (especially on Buses) as they are commonly believed to shorten the lifespan of the boot itself. There is no reason to fear grease flying out of the unclamped boot. It simply doesn't happen. However, in the case of the front outer boot on the 4WD Syncro, the boot design requires both the inner and outer clamps to be used; thus, they are always included in the boot kits.

What is HNBR, you ask?

Modern “rubber” does not contain any natural rubber. It is fully synthetic and called NRB, which stands for Nitrile Butadiene Rubber. HNBR (also known as HSN for “Highly Saturated Rubber”) is Hydrogenated NBR. It is a form of super-duper NBR that outperforms regular NBR as far as operating temperature range, resistance to chemical and atmospheric exposure, and, most importantly, strength. The only downside of HNBR is that it is way more expensive. For parts that are labor-intensive to replace, like CV boots: It is way more cost effective because it lasts so much longer. Buyer beware: You can’t tell if a “rubber” part is HNBR or if it is regular NBR (or even natural rubber, for that matter) by holding it in your hand—which makes it hard to know if the item is made of the ”good stuff” or not. But if it is a GoWesty DuroGreen part: You can rest assured it is made of the absolute best stuff for the job!

At GoWesty, we know materials matter—especially when it comes to elastic polymer (“rubber”) parts. Do you ever wonder why OEM parts seem to last many years, but often the replacement parts break down in a matter of months? It’s because manufacturers had to support every part of their vehicles for at least ten years or suffer the consequences of customer dissatisfaction and ultimately loss of sales. The devil is in the details when it comes to the stuff of which parts are made. Just because it looks the same doesn’t mean it is the same! You can have two identical-looking parts in your hand and one of them might be complete junk. If you have a DuroGreen GoWesty part in your hand, you can rest assured it is made of the very best, high-quality material for the application.

We make our proprietary polymer parts green so you can tell it is a genuine, properly engineered, maximum-durability part available only from GoWesty!
