CV boots for Peugeot 106
The Peugeot 106 is an iconic small car that has spent years darting across European roads thanks to its simplicity and efficient engineering. To ensure such a lightweight and agile car continues to deliver its characteristic driving enjoyment, the drivetrain must be maintained with care. CV boots are small yet vital components that are often overlooked until it is too late. At CVJoint24, you will find a comprehensive range of CV boots tailored specifically to your vehicle. Choosing the right protection for your CV joints ensures engine power transfers smoothly to the wheels without unwanted friction or the risk of sudden breakdown, significantly extending your car's lifespan and saving you money on future repairs.
What does a CV boot do on a Peugeot 106?
A CV boot on a Peugeot 106 performs a critical job that goes well beyond acting as a simple rubber cover. It serves as a hermetic seal for the CV joint, a precision component requiring constant lubrication so it does not overheat or wear out prematurely. Inside the boot is high-performance grease formulated to withstand the intense pressure and high temperatures generated while driving. The boot must stay sufficiently flexible to follow every movement of the wheels—both during steering and when the suspension articulates over rough surfaces. If a boot tears, the constant velocity joint is exposed to road salt, water and grit, which act like an abrasive paste that rapidly ruins the hardened internal surfaces, leading to inevitable joint failure.
Common signs of wear
There are several distinct signs that the CV boots on your Peugeot 106 are coming to the end of their life. The most obvious indicator is black grease splattered across the inside of the wheel rim or over nearby suspension components. This occurs because centrifugal force flings the grease out through even the tiniest splits in the rubber. During a visual inspection, check for surface cracking, chafing or loose retaining clips. If you notice vibrations under acceleration or a rhythmic clicking noise when turning tightly, the boot has usually been split for long enough that dirt has already damaged the CV joint. Acting quickly at the first sign of a grease leak is the best safeguard against costly component replacements.
How to choose the correct CV boot
When selecting a replacement CV boot for your Peugeot 106, dimensional precision is crucial for durability. There are significant differences between an inner CV boot, located next to the gearbox, and an outer CV boot by the wheel hub. Outer boots are generally exposed to greater wear and tear because they must cope with sharper angles when steering. To make sure you receive the exact fit, select your car's make, model and engine variant in our store. We supply model-specific boot kits that include the correct quantity of grease and the proper retaining clamps for a secure seal. Selecting a boot with the correct diameter and length is critical to avoid overstretching or coming loose at full steering lock, which is especially important on compact cars with tight wheel arches.
Related parts to inspect
It is also worth checking these relevant pages for the same vehicle when working on CV boots:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, related parts on the car often need checking as well. Comparing these exact pages for Peugeot 106 makes it easier to determine whether an issue lies with the CV boots or another neighbouring part of the driveline.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can shift symptoms across several interconnected driveline parts. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that causes the same symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions about CV Boots for Peugeot 106
How often should I check the CV boots on my Peugeot 106?
We recommend inspecting the CV boots at every tyre change or service, at least twice a year, to spot any cracks early.
Can I replace a CV boot myself on a Peugeot 106?
Yes, this is entirely possible for a DIY mechanic, but it requires removing the drive shaft and having the right tools to detach the CV joint and secure the clamps properly.
What happens if I drive with a split CV boot?
The grease leaks out and dirt gets in, which quickly destroys the CV joint. This leads to vibrations, knocking noises and, in the worst case, drive shaft failure.
Is there a difference between the inner and outer CV boot?
Yes, they have different dimensions and designs. The outer boot sits at the wheel and the inner boot at the gearbox. They cannot be swapped with one another.
Are grease and clamps included when I buy a CV boot from you?
Yes, our model-specific CV boot kits for the Peugeot 106 are supplied complete with the correct amount of specialised grease and all necessary mounting hardware.
Do all CV boots fit every Peugeot 106 model?
No, dimensions can vary depending on the engine size and model year. Always select your car's make, model and engine to find the exact replacement part.
