I have my 93 4matic wagon in the shop for some suspension work. Mechanic mentioned I should replace the boots as they are torn.

Anybody know of any part numbers? The pictures look a little different than what I actually have on the car.


It looks like the outer boots a dirt cheap but the inners are about 100$ each via pelican, and they are made by "truck tech". Brand quality or are they URo in disguise?

Are entire axles available?

Uro in disguise. Do not buy.

Excuse my ignorance, but was unsure which boots you were in need of. Are you talking about the Axle Boot Kit...Outer & Inner under the CV Joint Parts section? Wow that is a huge price descrepancy! And the MB OEM ones are even priced more ridiculous. The part # listed 124-330-05-85 is what you want to use to search for other part options.

I would change them all while they are apart. It seems that I onl have 2 choices: dealer for a few hundred each side, or truktek, (uro or similar) for a hundred each side.

So just to update, I ordered Dorman 614-001 boot via ebay,. Thanks to parshoot for doing the extra legwork. They should get delivered tuesday, and at that point I can confirm fit, and initial quality.

Hopefully these fit, as there is no good alternative other than spending $300 a piece on genuine MB boots.

i'm lucky, i have an axle rebuilder here in town. last time i had a 4matic 124, he did all 4 boots and joints for approx. 75-100 per. look around, there might be a better option. good luck, chuck.
