Bailcast CV Joint Gaiter Boot Replacement Kit CVS18 — Universal Split Black, Adhesive & Grease Included

Bailcast CVS18 Universal Split CV Joint Gaiter Boot Replacement Kit is a ready-to-install repair pack that restores and protects constant velocity joints in front-wheel-drive and light commercial vehicles.

If a torn or worn CV boot lets dirt and moisture into your joint, the CV joint can fail and lead to costly repairs. The Bailcast CVS18 kit supplies a universal split-style gaiter, adhesive, grease and fastening ties so you can replace a damaged boot quickly without removing the drive shaft. The boot’s stretchable, abrasion-resistant rubber fits a wide range of shafts and joints and is cut-to-fit for many car, 4x4 and light commercial applications.

How does this split boot attach to my CV joint?

The CVS18 uses a longitudinal split design so you can wrap it around the joint rather than sliding it over the shaft. Once positioned, the included rubber adhesive bonds the split edges to create a sealed, durable join. The kit’s ties lock the boot in place and the supplied grease ensures correct lubrication for the joint.

• Split gaiter for wrap-around installation in tight spaces
• Special rubber adhesive to seal the split securely
• Fastening ties for a firm clamp and vibration resistance
• Grease pack included to lubricate the joint before final assembly

Will this Bailcast CVS18 boot fit my vehicle?

CVS18 is engineered as a universal fit with elastic material and a cut-to-size profile so it suits many common CV joint dimensions. Measure your shaft and joint to confirm compatibility before installation; the kit accommodates a wide range of sizes for passenger cars, some 4x4s and light commercial vehicles.

• Shaft diameter compatibility: 18–34 mm
• Joint diameter compatibility: 60–116 mm
• Effective boot length after fitting: 58–128 mm
• Suitable for trilobal/tripod joint types as stated on the pack

What protection and durability can I expect from the Bailcast gaiter?

The cvs18 boot is made from a resilient rubber compound formulated to resist oil, grease and road contamination while withstanding seasonal temperature swings. The material resists abrasion, tearing and impact from debris, helping to keep contaminants out of the joint and retain lubrication where it’s needed.

• Resistant to oil and grease exposure
• Abrasion and tear-resistant rubber compound
• Durable under a wide range of temperatures and road conditions
• Designed to keep grit and moisture away from internal joint components

How long does DIY replacement take and what’s in the kit?

For a competent DIYer with basic hand tools, replacing a worn CV boot with the CVS18 kit typically takes under 15 minutes per joint when the drive shaft can remain installed. The kit contains everything needed for the boot replacement so you won’t need to source separate parts.

• Split CV gaiter cut-to-fit for your vehicle
• Tube of rubber adhesive formulated for the split seam
• Grease sachet sized for joint preparation
• Fastening ties and simple printed instructions included

Who is this for? The Bailcast CVS18 universal split CV boot kit is aimed at DIY mechanics, home enthusiasts and fleet technicians who need a cost-effective way to repair leaking or torn CV gaiters without full joint replacement. It’s particularly useful when access is limited or when you need a quick, reliable repair using a single comprehensive kit that includes grease, adhesive and fasteners.
