Hey boys, as in topic title my drivers side drive shaft boot is wide open and I suspect it's been like that for a while as grease is all over suspension arms.

The question is what is the most cost effective way to repair the boot and where or to order whole new drive shaft from Nissan?

Anyone had this problem?

I have inquired at local drive shaft repair joint where for more common cars you can simply get a swap for a repaired DS, not for Stagea and he has never seen one repaired?

Thanks

David

The boot isn't that hard to change man I had never done one before and it only took me like an hour to do. So was not to bad, but if you find the part number let me know :-)

Are you talking about the inner boot or outer boot? The guy at the repair shop said that he could maybe find the match but inner is the problem???

just go to your nissan dealership and order some dont use universal ones as they aren't as good.......... ill look part numbers up or Daleo should know LOL

found this too.......... (note drivers side inner and passengers side inner are a different part number, but outsides are the same)

also try the search function next time as this has been covered a few times :)

Sorry man didn't mean to bring up stuff being covered, Thanks for the info and I'll try nissan first but part numbers will make it easy.

Cheers

Notice the part for the boot has a star, not a part number. Nissan ordered some of the other part numbers in for us but none were the inner boot. A driveshaft shop would be your best bet. Or there are also Various Nissan boots on ebay that look similar, could be cheap to try and order one off measurements...

Just a quick update on this issue,

After all the searching and calls to nissan I've decided to do it the easy way which is called Greg from Autosport Kirawee (02 9521 1388) who said yep we have them in stock and all done cleaned regreased and fitted within two hours for a resonable price what a service.

I have used them before for gtr work (4wd didn't work) very familiar with imported cars and performance kind of work.

Would highly recomend them especially if you not DIY kind of guy or just busy.
