Syclone V6-262 4.3L Turbo (1991)
Constant Velocity Joint Boot: All Technical Service Bulletins
Drivetrain - Front CV Boot Torn or Cracked
BULLETIN NUMBER: 92-4A-152
SECTION: 4A
NUMBER: 1
CORPORATE REFERENCE NUMBER: 264102R
DATE: March 1993
SUBJECT:
FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT CV BOOT TORN OR CRACKED
(INSTALL NEW RETAINING CLAMP)
MODELS:
1991 SYCLONE AND 1992-93 TYPHOON
The front propeller shaft Constant Velocity (CV) boot on some 1991 Syclones and 1992-93 Typhoons may become torn or cracked. This condition may
be caused by the retaining clamp "digging" into the rubber boot. If the clamp is too tight, the boot will tend to crack or tear around the edges of the
clamp.
To repair this condition, a new design retaining clamp and a CV boot replacement procedure have been developed. The new retaining clamp has curved
edges, as shown in Figure 1. The CV boot also has a strip of polyethylene tape installed on the contact area to prevent the edges of the clamp from
digging in.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the front propshaft as detailed in Section 4A of the 1993 Typhoon Service Manual Supplement, X-9376.
