A boot is a simple yet crucial part of your microcar’s drivetrain. In particular, the CV boot for the drive shaft / CV joint and the steering rack boot for Ligier, Microcar, Chatenet, Aixam, and Grecav microcars should be replaced regularly.
Drive Shaft / CV Joint Boot
The drive shaft and CV joint boot protects the CV joint from dirt, moisture, and dust – factors that can quickly wear out the joint and lead to costly damage. A cracked or loose boot can cause grease leakage, eventually requiring a full replacement of the CV joint on your microcar.
Steering Rack Boot – More Than Just Rubber
The steering rack boot serves a similar purpose – protecting the moving components of your microcar’s steering system from external stress. If the boot fails, dirt can enter the steering rack, causing wear or even play. You can find the correct steering rack boot for your microcar here.
Boot Replacement – An Affordable Insurance
Replacing a boot costs only a fraction of what it would take to replace the entire CV joint or steering rack. We recommend inspecting the boots regularly – especially after winter – and replacing them at the first sign of cracks, grease leakage, or dryness.
