CV joint boot

[Darren Place]

Is there a patch or quick fix ion a hole in CV joint boot on a 2011 Silverado 4x4. Left front has a small hole and are seeing if there is is anything that can be done to patch it

Clean the piss out of the it with some good brake cleaner or similar.

 

Then gob a bunch of black rtv silicone over the hole. You could even try an epoxy stuff that works on rubber. Those are kinda your only options. Or buy a new cv axle for like $70-90 from Napa or something.

I would suggest replacing the CV boot.  It's a messy job, as you have to clean off the old cv grease from the joint, and use the new grease included with the boot, but it also more likely to work better/last longer, as any dirt will destroy the joint quickly.  You do have to remove the cv axle from the truck to do this.

I have wrapped them in plastic in a pinch. Tape at both ends of the shaft and down the seam. This will get you home if it's still clean.
