The correct clamp helps retain the boot at its intended seating area. The band does not repair a split boot or replenish lubrication lost from a damaged joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCV boots can require different clamps at different attachment points. This listing does not supply a complete boot clamp set. Confirm the original number at the position being serviced rather than selecting a clamp from a general vehicle match alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon reasons to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the clamp when replacing a CV boot or servicing the associated joint. Renew a removed clamp when required by the service procedure. Replace a distorted band, damaged closure or corrosion that prevents proper retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA displaced boot, an incorrectly closed clamp or visible grease around the connection calls for inspection of the complete boot attachment. Check the boot condition, seating groove and surrounding components as well as the clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrease leakage can also result from a torn boot or an incorrectly installed replacement. A new clamp cannot seal damaged boot material. If the boot has admitted contamination or lost lubricant, inspect and service the joint as prescribed before fitting new hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClicking, vibration or excessive joint play requires diagnosis. Replacing a clamp cannot repair wear inside a CV joint or correct a damaged axle. Establish the condition of the joint rather than treating retention hardware as a complete driveline repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the factory procedure for the vehicle's exact five-speed manual transmission and original axle arrangement. Confirm which inner boot connection uses this clamp. Different boot ends and replacement axle assemblies can require different hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the boot, seating surfaces and closure area before installation. Keep contamination out of the opened joint and use the prescribed lubricant and quantity if the joint is being serviced. No grease is included with this clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeat the correct boot fully in its assigned groove and route it without twisting. Position the band squarely in the prescribed retention area. Do not use the clamp to compensate for a mismatched boot or a damaged seating surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClose the clamp using the proper tool and procedure for its formed closure. Do not substitute a general hose-clamp installation method or deform the band with an unsuitable tool. Follow the specified closure setting and inspection requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck that the boot is retained evenly and that the band does not contact adjacent components during movement. Follow the prescribed boot positioning and pressure equalization steps if applicable to the assembly being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor aftermarket axles or replacement boot kits, confirm their documented clamp specification independently. Matching the original vehicle does not establish that every replacement boot uses this original band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the joint and axle service using the required new hardware where specified. Perform the prescribed final inspection and operating checks. Order the quantity needed for the particular connections being serviced; one clamp is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel years\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication restrictions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen Golf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1999–2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.9L turbocharged diesel, ALH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMk4 hatchback, front-wheel drive; 5-speed manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecified inner CV joint boot clamp position requiring N90442501.
