Front Driveshaft
Hey all, anyone know where I can order a front driveshaft CV boot online? Or a napa part number for the axle? 91 W250

I don't think the shaft uses a boot, never seen one on any of them myself.

Its not a true CV joint so they are not required.

The only boot on my front driveshaft is for the slip yoke? Doesn't cover a cv or universal joint.

They don't use a boot over the joint, as said above it's not a cv joint but a double cardan joint

There was one on there but it shredded because a rock hit it good. Napa has some boots so I'll just slip one over it.

Still think you are talking about the little accordion boot that is on the driveshaft at the slip joint. Only boot that should be on the driveshaft.

Unless it's some sort of aftermarket joint, not the stock one, I would leave it open, I think a boot on it would trap moisture and dirt and cause early u joint failure, just my .02
