RE: [Chrysler300] Need help please



I have been told that later model Jeeps still use the ball and trunion. The boot is either rubber (factory) or lace up leather (after market). You can install the rubber boot with lubrication and patience over the pin and thru the housing. I have used the leather lace up in cars that are not subjected to dirt roads, severe weather etc.

 

My dad always put a short piece of small (16ga) wire under the rubber boot lip before tightening the clamp insisting you needed a vent for when the driveshaft length changes during use. J

Andy Bernbaum also has parts for the front drive shaft u-joint (ball and trunion type).

Hello gurus in 300land.  I took my survivor H to have the exhaust checked, I need mufflers (another story).  The mechanic pointed out where the front of the driveshaft goes into the end of Trans, the ‘boot’ thing is shot.  It looks like a CV joint boot.  He thinks somewhere back along in time somebody replaced it as he didn’t think mine was original.  This guy is not a MOPAR guy, so as Ronald Reagan said:  “Trust, but Verify”.

 

Should it be a CV looking boot thingy?  If not, or even if so, can I get a new one?  He thought if I couldn’t get one, he could try and create one from a newer CV joint boot thing.

 

Thanks again for all your help
