Hi Guys,

Any of you have used silicon axle boots for your vehicle? (Not rubber ones)

May be long lived. Black silicon boots were seen in  steering rack boots in certain applications even in 1980's.  Gave good long life cycles than rubber,

eBay have plenty of these. but you should ensure the correct fitment, unless a waste of money,

The correct fitment is correct internal  diameters of Shaft & CV body sides ,Overall length, shape of the belly. 1 or 2mm difference brings it unusable. This is a tedious job. Be careful when order.

Yes. Hopefully, only option I have is to use a silicon spray with rubber boots.
