I was changing my oil last night and saw that the boot on the rear portion of the propeller shaft was leaking. On inspection i saw two cracks . Im wondering if anyone has replaced this part before or ran into this problem. Currently I am trying to get the LJ Bootkit - first call into the dealer they said they couldnt get just the boot and I needed to buy a 200$~ish kit to replace it. After looking in the shop manual i belive they qouted me for the entire joint kit and not just the boot kit see image below -

Does anyone have a part number for the circled LJ Boot kit ?

Thanks

 

Chris, it's time for you to turn to the dark side and get an STI.

 

MB837572 Is the part in CAPS. Its called BOOT KIT, PROPELLER S LJ

The entire joint kit is PN MB837239

 

but then he would have a BIGGER problem.....

 

I don't think theres a part number for the STI Delete kit. haha

 

Thanks a ton!

 

This happened on my car back in '03 with just about 15k on the odometer. It was the LJ joint #3 according to the dealership. Back then they only offered the replacement kit in it's entirety. Thank goodness the dealership was cool back then. Thanks for pointing out the part number for the boot itself. Did you have a spray pattern of packing grease under the car?
