Product Description
The MEYLE CV boot kit, drive shaft (100 498 9022/R) is a professional-grade constant velocity (CV) joint protection package manufactured by MEYLE under their optimized repair solutions line. Positioned along the front drive axle assembly, its primary function is to fully enclose the outer wheel-side articulating CV joint. It maintains a robust, highly flexible fluid-tight seal that holds the necessary high-pressure lubrication grease inside the joint while completely repelling hostile road debris, water, salt spray, and abrasive dust particles. This ensures that the high-stress steering ball tracks within the joint remain fully lubricated, preserving smooth power delivery and avoiding costly axle replacements.

⚠️ Hub Spline & Dimensions Fitting Warning: This boot features an **81mm outer collar diameter** configured strictly for standard-tier front hubs. It will NOT fit high-performance versions of these vehicle lines—such as the Golf MK2/MK3 G60, VR6, 2.0L GTI 16V, or later generation Golf MK4 systems—which feature heavy-duty **90mm or 100mm outer CV joints** with larger axle diameters. Always measure your existing joint bell housing outer width before ordering. A compromised or leaking outer boot causes rapid wear from grease loss and constitutes an immediate safety inspection / MOT failure.
