GKN Motorsport High Performance CV and Tripod Fast Boots

Engineered by GKN Motorsport in the UK, these high-performance CV and Tripod Fast Boots are vital components for protecting and maintaining your racing driveline assembly. Developed specifically to withstand the brutal environment of Autograss, short-circuit, and stage rally racing, these boots retain critical high-temperature lubrication while acting as a robust barrier against track debris, mud, and heavy roost.

Each boot is precision-moulded from specialized high-durability elastomers designed to resist tearing, oil degradation, and structural deformation at sustained high rotational speeds. Featuring specific bolt-hole alignment counts, these fast boots mount directly between the outer flange face and the axle assembly, ensuring an airtight, leak-free seal even at extreme suspension articulation angles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why is selecting a specialized motorsport fast boot so important?

A: Standard road car boots quickly tear or balloon under the extreme heat and rapid angular acceleration found in competitive racing. GKN Motorsport fast boots are profile-optimized to prevent expansion at high RPMs, keeping the grease securely inside the joint where it belongs.

Q: Do these fast boots work with both traditional ball-style CV joints and Tripod joints?

A: Yes. These boots are specifically designed to fit both GKN plunging/fixed constant velocity (CV) joints and high-misalignment tripod joint styles matching the corresponding outer diameters (OD) listed in the specification table.

Q: What is the difference between the two 108mm boot options (MS6N001 and MS6N011)?

A: While both variants share identical dimensions, the MS6N011 boot features an advanced internal pleat configuration that safely permits a higher maximum driveshaft working angle of up to 14 degrees, compared to the 11-degree limit on the standard MS6N001 variant.
