Need to replace a CV boot on your Volvo V70 2.4 T AWD? As a Swedish driveline specialist, we offer tailored CV boots that ensure your constant velocity joints stay shielded against dirt...
The Volvo V70 2.4 T AWD is a powerful all-wheel-drive car, placing high demands on its drivetrain components. The CV boot is a vital yet often overlooked part that protects the delicate constant velocity joints from external debris. On an AWD model there are more joints, and therefore more boots to keep in good condition to avoid costly repairs across the entire system. We supply CV boots specifically developed to withstand the stresses created by the torque of the 2.4 T engine and the all-wheel-drive system. Replacing a split boot in good time saves you both time and money, while keeping your vehicle reliable on the road.
The primary role of the CV boot on your Volvo V70 2.4 T AWD is to serve as a protective barrier for the CV joint. It keeps the lubricating grease inside the joint while sealing out water, road salt and dirt. Because the 2.4 T AWD model features a more complex driveline than front-wheel-drive variants, every link in the chain must work flawlessly. If the boot tears, the grease is quickly thrown out by centrifugal force, and road grit starts grinding down the joint internals, which inevitably leads to total failure of the joint.
The most common indicator that a CV boot needs replacing is visible grease on the inside of the wheel rim or wheel arch. This grease is typically dark and sticky, flung out as the shaft spins. You should also inspect the boots at every service or tyre change to check for dry cracking or small splits in the rubber. If you hear a clicking noise on full steering lock, dirt may already have penetrated and damaged your outer CV joint. Vibrations under acceleration can instead point to an issue with an inner CV joint following a leaking boot.
Selecting the correct boot requires care, as inner and outer CV boots differ, as do those on the front and rear axles of AWD models. To make sure you get a component with an exact fit, always filter by your car's make, model and engine variant in our shop. This eliminates uncertainty over dimensions and fitting details that can vary by model year. We supply complete boot kits that include the required ear clamps and dedicated grease, vital for a lasting repair on your Volvo. Choosing the right material, such as high-grade rubber or thermoplastic, is also essential for handling harsh European winters and wide temperature fluctuations during driving.
Take a look at these exact pages for the same vehicle when working with CV boots:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, related parts on the same car often need inspecting too. Comparing these exact pages for the Volvo V70 2.4 T AWD makes it easier to tell whether the issue lies purely with the CV boots or in another neighbouring section of the drivetrain.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and strange noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same driveline. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking an adjacent component that causes the same symptom.
By carrying out a complete check of these components, you ensure your car's drivetrain remains dependable and quiet for many miles to come.

With our focus on getting the right part first time, we minimise the risk of incorrect orders and time-consuming returns. We also dispatch fast across Europe to get your car back on the road without delay. When shopping with us, you benefit from specialist expertise that general car-parts stores simply cannot match.
The easiest and most reliable way is to select your car's make, model, and engine in our vehicle selector. This filters our range so you only see the CV boots that are compatible with your specific car model.
Yes, our CV boot kits are supplied complete with model-specific clamps and the dedicated grease required to ensure optimal lubrication and sealing.
The outer CV boot is located near the wheel and must withstand wide angular movements during steering. The inner CV boot is positioned by the gearbox or differential and is often designed to accommodate axial movement in the drive shaft.
We strongly recommend replacing the CV boot immediately. A split boot allows dirt and grit inside, which quickly ruins the CV joint and leads to a significantly more expensive repair.
We supply both high-quality rubber and thermoplastic. Thermoplastic is often more resistant to mechanical wear and tear, whilst rubber offers outstanding flexibility in extreme cold.
To secure the clamps correctly, a pair of CV boot clamp pliers is recommended. In some cases, tools to detach the drive shaft from the wheel hub may also be required.
