CV Boot Guardian goes on in four steps: wrap the cover around the CV shaft in a cone shape, adjust it to the size of your CV boot with the velcro straps and patch, press the velcro down, then secure it with two large cable ties. These are the same steps as the fitting sheet that comes with every pack.
Four simple steps to have your CV boot secured:
Step 1: Place the cover around the CV shaft
Place the CV Boot Guardian around the CV shaft in a cone shape close to the CV boot with large velcro patch to the inside.
Step 2: Adjust the size
Adjust the size of the CV Boot Guardian to the size of the CV boot using the velcro straps and patch.
Step 3: Press the velcro down
When it is adjusted to the right size, not too tight or too loose, press down on velcro to attach.
Step 4: Secure it with two large cable ties
Then place two large cable ties through the loops on the end of the CV Boot Guardian and do up as tight as possible to secure the CV Boot Guardian to the CV boot shaft. Cut off the excess cable ties.
Optional: extra cable ties for extreme terrain
If you are travelling through extreme terrain, you can place additional cable ties around the CV Boot Guardian higher up on the cone to help secure it in place.
What a cover does and doesn’t do
A CV Boot Guardian cover goes over the boot you already have. It isn’t a fix for a boot that has already split: if your boot is torn or leaking grease, it needs replacing first. If your boots keep tearing on a lifted 4WD, check the CV angle as well; see our guide to stopping CV boots tearing on 4WD trails, and read about the common signs of a CV boot leak.
Not sure about size?
The cover is adjusted to your CV boot with velcro straps and a patch (step 2), so you set the size at fitting. If you’d like to try one first, start with the 2-Pack sample for $59.99. The 8-Pack is $149.99 and comes with a 2-year warranty. Shipping is free across Australia. The site’s current rating is 4.78★ from 64 reviews (as shown on the site, 11 Oct 2026).
