You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 5018064AA fits your vehicle.

If the CV Boots are damaged, letting grease out and water and dirt in, serious and costly damage can occur to the CV joints. The boots should be inspected very carefully at the recommended intervals or anytime the vehicle is raised. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Place the transaxle in Neutral. While rotating the wheels, inspect the four CV Boots, two on each driveaxle, very carefully for cracks, tears, holes, deteriorated rubber and loose or missing clamps. Check the inner and outer boot on each driveaxle for cracks or leaking grease. If the boots are dirty, wipe them clean before beginning the inspection. If damage or deterioration is evident, replace the boots and check the CV joints for damage. Place the transaxle in Park or in gear as applicable and lower the vehicle.

Inspect the CV joints for excessive play and smooth operation. If a boot is torn, disassemble the joint, clean the components, and check for damage.

The tie-rod ends should be checked for looseness.

The inner boots are made from either high-temperature silicone or Hytrel thermoplastic, while the outer boot is made of Hytrel thermoplastic. Obtaining the correct material for the CV joint boot replacement is essential.
