Parts for your 2000 Daihatsu Gran move-Cv boots

2000 Daihatsu Gran Move CV boots: what they do and how to look after them

Relevant technical sources for the G300-series Daihatsu Gran Move (also sold as the Pyzar)—including the factory workshop manual and the Daihatsu electronic parts catalogue—show the car is front‑wheel drive with driveshafts featuring inner and outer constant‑velocity (CV) joints. Each of those joints is protected by a rubber CV boot. So yes, CV boots are absolutely fitted to the 2000 Daihatsu Gran Move, and they’re a small part with a big job.

CV boots keep special moly grease inside the CV joints and keep water, dust, and road grit out. That’s vital for smooth power delivery to the front wheels during steering and suspension movement. When a boot cracks or splits, grease is flung out and contamination gets in, quickly wearing the joint. Left unchecked, that’s when the well-known clicking on full lock, shudder under load, or vibration on acceleration appears—and a joint replacement costs far more than a boot and grease.

As part of regular servicing on a Gran Move in Aussie and Kiwi conditions—think heat, UV, coastal salt and plenty of unsealed roads—CV boots should be inspected at each service interval (around every 10,000–15,000 kilometres) or after any heavy gravel or wet off‑bitumen driving. Look for:

• Grease spray on the inside of the front wheels or guards
• Visible cracks, splits, or perished rubber on inner and outer boots
• Clicking on turns, or vibration on take-off
• Loose or damaged boot clamps

If a boot is torn or leaking, replace it immediately before the joint is damaged. Use a quality boot kit suited to the Gran Move’s driveshafts, replace both clamps, and clean and re‑pack the joint with the specified high‑moly CV grease. Many technicians prefer thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or OE-grade neoprene boots for longevity. “Split” or universal boots can get you out of trouble, but they’re best treated as temporary, the proper fix involves removing the shaft, disassembling the joint, and fitting the correct boot.

When refitting, ensure clamps are correctly crimped, the driveshaft nut is tightened to spec and staked, and take a short test drive before a quick re‑check for any weep. Given the Gran Move’s age, if one boot has failed, it’s smart to inspect the others closely and budget to do them in pairs to save time and repeat labour.

Popular questions about 2000 Daihatsu Gran Move CV boots

1) What are the signs my Gran Move’s CV boots or joints are failing?
Common giveaways include grease flung around the inside of the wheel, visible splits in the boot, a clicking noise on full lock, and vibration on acceleration. If you spot any of these, minimise driving and get it inspected—catching a torn boot early can save the CV joint.

2) How often should CV boots be checked on a Gran Move?
Have them inspected at each regular service (about every 10,000–15,000 km) and after rough, wet, or gravel-road use. Boots can last years, but age, heat, UV, and unsealed roads in Australia and New Zealand shorten their life, so routine checks are cheap insurance.

3) Can I use a universal split boot on a Gran Move?
It can work as a short-term repair, but the preferred method is removing the shaft and installing a model-appropriate boot kit with fresh grease and new clamps. That approach lasts longer and better protects the joint.
