Front Drive Shaft Boot
 

My 2004 D2 with 99000 miles has a broken boot on the front drive shaft. If this is anything like a cv joint i would assume rain and dirt entering there damages this. Could any one with experience with these drive shafts tell me a proper way to processed. Thanks

Many of us don't have boots of the prop shaft.

I have yet to see a boot on the front drive shaft. Is it on the front or the rear of the propshaft? I would assume it would melt in the rear being that close to the Y pipe.

Is this what you're talking about?

I started a thread about this a while ago. Seems some (or most?) Disco IIs don't have them.

Those are your U-joints. Common failure. Replace before destruction !

If there are no grease fittings on each u-joint, it needs to be rebuilt or replaced before it fails and tales out your tranny.
How mechanical are you, you can rebuild it or buy a better designed one with the proper fittings from Bill Davis at Great Basins Rovers in Salt Lake City.

Wonder if anyone's done a 'shade tree' video or pic-by-pic of a rebuild? I thought I'd seen one somewhere.

You have to excuse me on the terminology. I was taught most of it in spanish.
I'm pretty mechanical, but if the rebuild requires a machine to centerize it then I'm screwed. Although I do have a leigh available to me. I will look and feel soon although from looking at the picture it does look kind of dry. The truck is no vibrating or anything. I just saw this while changing the oxygen sensor. Some people sent links to the Gaiter Propshaft. From the post I'm guessing packing new grease and sealing it is a bad idea??? Great Basin Rovers has the reman serviceable drive shafts. The word serviceable catches my eye. They are $375. Couldn't you make the factory ones serviceable by drilling, tapping and adding the grease gun fitting?
