OPTIMALE Resilience CV Starter (Ball-Shaped Silicone CV Boot) Key benefits Direct fit: 1:1 compatibility with your existing CV assembly — no modifications, adapters, or special tools required. Durable protection: High-quality silicone construction provides exceptional elasticity and abrasion resistance to protect moving parts under stress. Keeps out contaminants: Front and rear sections of the CV shaft assembly shield universal joints and CV seals from dirt, grit, and moisture for consistent, long-term performance. Easy to install: Designed for straightforward replacement during routine maintenance; no specialist skills needed. What it does and why you need it Protects CV joints and universal joints from contaminants that cause wear, noise, and premature failure. Maintains consistent performance at road speeds by preventing moisture ingress and abrasive particle damage. Extends service life of the CV assembly by preserving grease seals and joint surfaces. Material and performance Material: Premium silicone for high elasticity and temperature stability. Performance: Good abrasion resistance and flexibility preserve joint movement and resist cracking or splitting under repeated flexing. Design: Ball-shaped CV boot accommodates movement in the front and rear assemblies of the CV shaft while sealing against contaminants. Compatibility and fit Engineered for a direct 1:1 match with the original CV assembly it replaces; intended to restore proper sealing and protection without altering the vehicle. Suitable for applications where a spherical silicone CV boot is specified or where original-fit replacement is required. Typical applications Daily commuting on rough or potholed roads where dust, water, and road debris threaten CV joint life. Light off-road or utility vehicle use where increased joint movement and exposure require a flexible, abrasion-resistant boot. Routine maintenance or aftermarket replacement when original CV boots are torn, leaking grease, or allowing contaminant entry. Installation and care Simple installation: fits over the CV assembly and seals the joint; no special tools or professional experience required for typical replacements. Inspect periodically for cuts or severe abrasion; replace if the boot is compromised to prevent joint damage. What it replaces or protects Designed to replace worn or damaged CV boots and protect universal joints/CV joints and their seals from moisture and debris while maintaining joint mobility. Note: Matches original-fit specifications and functions; do not modify or alter the part for installation.
