- Posted by Jim Smith
Does anyone know where I can get a "split" inner CV boot for a 1995 4Runner?

Did you happen to ask ANY of your local auto parts stores? Even one?

That should be a common part. Ask you local parts store.
Having said that, the split-type boots are shit. Why would you want one,
other than you are planning to dump your truck on an unsuspecting soul.

I need it to pass my state inspection, so I can get it on the road. After
that, I can pull the axle and do it right. However I only have 15 days to
get it on the road with the temp tags I now have.
I can get the outer boot, but no one locally has one.
That's why I asked for help here, but it seems like all I get is a few
morons thinking they know the obvious. If I could have gotten it locally, I
would have.

The way you asked, it sounded a lot like, "I'm not sure what this is, do you
know where to get one?"
Sorry if I sounded a bit condescending, but given your question, the only
answer was to check with the guys on the corner.
Since you seem to know exactly what it is, No, I don't know where you can
get one, besides the guy on the corner. If they haven't got one in stock,
they can usually get them in a day or two. If anybody here had one, surely
it would cost more just for the 2nd-day FedEx than the parts store will
charge.

I'm quite certain that I saw a generic split boot in a J. C. Whitney
catalog within the past year. I believe Autozone has them, or at
least the on-line catalog does. See the following link. Good luck.

The boot at Autozone isn't large enough. I need a 4 inch wide boot and all
of the universal boots that I have found are too small. I'm still looking
and hope to find one locally, but I'm not too hopeful. Seems like I can't
find a split boot for the inner. I've been to web pages and shop all around
the local area and can't find a split boot made for the 4Runner. I've got a
line on a Dorman boot that will work, but not an exact match.
I don't know if this was a local thing, but it seems like there aren't any
available. We'll see.
Thanks for the heads up.

I am assuming that your in Kalifornia..... and that there is a boot on one
side but not the other??
Try this on for size.... being as the folks in the inspection stations are
not too bright, continue your search for TWO new boots.
Remove the other one and do the smog check with no boots. It will probably
go through with no problems. Consider... if they see only one, they want to
know where the other one went... if they don't see any.....duh, ok.....PASS
I still have yet to figure our what CV joint dust boots have to do with
engine emissions.

Not emissions, vehicle state inspection. We have to do this in order to get
tags and registration when you want to put a vehicle on the road. I just
bought the 4Runner, replaced the engine, got most of the vehicle ready for
the inspection, but can only find the regular boot. Maybe I'll just tear
the axle apart and do it the right way.

He's not in California. CA does not have the inspection he is trying to
pass. We have smog nazis that check emissions, but nobody seems to care that
axle boots are missing or torn.

Sounds like you might as well replace the axle shaft with a quality
remanufactured one and be done with it. If you can't find the right
size split boot and have to pull the axle shaft anyway, you're ahead
to replace the whole thing. A good reman is often reasonably priced.
Good luck. Al

Firget all the hasle and just yank the old one and put in a
fresh one. Its not a REAL hard job but it is time consuming.

That works fine, except for the cost. A boot costs what, $20? The shaft runs
to 10 times that.

Either your math is bad or you dont know how to find parts on the 'net.
$70 for a shaft at Autozone. MUCH less than $200

I've bought half shafts for my Hondas that ran to just under $200 from
AutoZone. I assumed -- wrongly, apparently -- that half shaftsd for Toyotas
would cost a similar amount. If one can get a half shaft for $70, then by
all means go that way.

What Honda requires a $200 reman shaft?

I haven't done the job for about 10 years now, but I had an '82 Accord and
an '86 Accord. I recall that both of these had parts costs of approaching
$400 for both shafts. Perhaps my memory is fuzzy ...

Changed shafts on all of them. no $200 shafts all in $60 range.
Current autozone price for '82 and '86 is $60-65.

Does this state also check for a leaking oil pan gaskets, how about grunge
around the power steering pump cap? oh.. and what about those nasty dirty
valve covers? I feel so much safer knowing that all the cars around me have
good CV boots. Where does this stuff come from? States that get it are the
ones that have determined that accidents are rarely caused by the things
they check at state inspections and therefore don't require inspections.
And if we are interested in protecting the environment, boy I'm glad someone
is eradicating all those horrible cracked CV boots.
