Hi, my son has a 1996 Porsche 911 993 and one of the CV joint boots/bellows/gaiters on a half shaft has perished and split. The normal fix is to remove the half shaft and replace as usual but I came across this and wondered if anyone on here has tried them?

Not used .but seen on YouTube and I thought hmmm I would give them a go if needed

I used one on a mini Countryman and it worked really well. They have a bit more flex than the originals ones and I didn't want to use one of the ones that you glue.

In my experience they won't last until the next MOT.
Do the job properly and do it just once. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Hi, I used a glue one on a Discovery and it was still ok after 3 yrs. Maybe I was just lucky.

My son has decided to get one of these split bellows for the Porsche. It's on a classic car and only does about 1800 miles per year and never goes out in the wet. The worst that can happen is that we have to do it properly next time although we are not too keen on undoing the hub nut which is done up to about 400 nm. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
