QU40133 Driveshaft Boot Clamp for Many Common Driveshafts

QU40133 Small Driveshaft Boot Clamp for Front and Rear Driveshafts is a one-ear, crimp type stainless steel Boot Clamp for the small (Slip Stub) end of 4 or 5 apex slip yoke boots used on many common 1-7/16″ Fine Spline and 1-1/2″ Coarse Spline driveshafts used in numerous full size 1/2 ton to 1-1/2 ton trucks and 4x4s from the late 1980’s to current. Shafts that use this clamp will have a boot that locates the small end of the boot on the approximate 1-1/4″ unsplined section of the slip stub. Made in Canada.

Applications

Tech Note 1: Inspect Boot
A boot protected driveshaft slip joint will usually outlast the truck as long as the boot is intact and there is some grease on the splines. If your Boot is damaged, REPLACE IT! If your Boot is OK, but you are doing other driveshaft service, always clean and grease the splines AND replace the clamps!

Tech Note 2: Clamp Tool
Using a QT4018i Clamp Tool specifically made to tighten eared clamps around the driveshaft boot is the best way to tension a stainless steel Boot Clamp to provide an air and watertight seal. If a Clamp Tool is not available, you may be able to get by with a nail puller or hoof nippers. Wire cutters could be used in an emergency situation as a last resort, but the results are often unsatisfactory.
