Default 2wd cv joint question...bear with me...

Ok, so I'm rebuilding my rear drive shafts, after spraying them and degreasing the cv joints, and struggled like hell to,get the boots back on the joint end then noticed with the boots I have left (which is two) one is bigger than the other ie the cv joint end....

So I was just worried if the cv joints are different sizes / the side where the drive shaft goes I mean or have I just been sold odd sized boots......

Sorry if it confusing but not sure how else to explain it...

Hi ,

Just did mine , the Cv joints are the same on the 3 door but the new boots I got were to big in od diameter on hub side because they were not tappered and rubbed on rear spring.
I put the original boots back on hub side. T
