Bit of a long shot but does anyone have any experience with working on the inner CV joint. In particular, the purpose of the CV boot metal section. After looking at a number of images on the net, I get the impression that it’s not just there to hold the boot on. If it is there to stop the spider coming out of the CV on a 280zx then is it still an issue when fitted to a 240z as its so compressed it physically cant come out.
The reason I ask is that I’m planning on using a universal type boot kit that doesn’t have the metal band that the OEM has. Now if I cut all the old boot and band off, do I risk the spider coming out?
