Parts for your 2002 Daihatsu Gran move-Cv boots

2002 Daihatsu Gran Move CV Boots

CV boots are absolutely relevant on the 2002 Daihatsu Gran Move. The factory Daihatsu Gran Move/Pyzar workshop manual for the G303/G313 series (Front Drive Shaft section) specifies inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints protected by rubber boots. Toyota/Daihatsu electronic parts catalogues and aftermarket listings from Blue Print, GSP, and Febest also show front CV boot kits for the 2002 model. Together, these technical sources confirm the vehicle is fitted with CV boots on its front drive shafts.

On a 2002 Gran Move, the CV boots are the tough rubber sleeves that keep high-moly grease inside the CV joints and keep water, road grit, and dust out. Because the Gran Move is a front-wheel-drive runabout, those joints do plenty of work, flexing as the front wheels steer and as the suspension moves. Healthy boots keep the joints quiet, smooth, and long-lived.

If a boot splits, the grease quickly flicks out onto the inside of the wheel and suspension. Once the joint runs dry or gets contaminated, it can start clicking on turns and eventually fail. Replacing a boot early is cheaper and easier than replacing a whole CV joint or driveshaft later on.

• Tell-tale signs: grease spatter around the inner rim/tyre, visible cracks in the boot, or a rhythmic click when turning at low speed.
• Service habit: inspect boots at each service (about every 10,000–15,000 km) and after gravel road trips or kerb strikes.
• If torn: stop grit getting in—organise a boot replacement promptly. If the joint has started clicking, budget for a joint or complete shaft.
• Quality kit: use a proper CV boot kit with the correct high-moly grease and new stainless clamps, universal stretch boots can be a stop-gap but OE-style fits best.
• Fitment tips for workshops: clean the joint thoroughly, pack the specified quantity of grease, ensure the boot isn’t twisted, and crimp clamps firmly. Follow the workshop manual procedure and torque specs for hub/shaft fasteners.

Drivers who keep an eye on their Gran Move’s CV boots usually avoid bigger bills down the track. A quick look during a routine service and timely boot replacement keeps the front end quiet, the steering smooth, and the driveshafts doing their job for many more kilometres.

Popular questions about 2002 Daihatsu Gran Move CV boots

How can someone tell a CV boot is failing on a 2002 Gran Move?
Common giveaways are grease flung around the inside of the front wheel or lower control arm, small cracks in the rubber when the wheel is on full lock, and later on, a clicking noise when turning. Catching it at the “grease splatter” stage usually saves the CV joint.

Can the boot be replaced without changing the whole driveshaft?
Yes. If the joint hasn’t been damaged, a technician can remove the shaft, clean and re-grease the joint, and fit a new boot and clamps. If the joint is noisy or worn from contamination, replacing the joint or complete shaft is the smarter option.

How long does a CV boot replacement take, and what might it cost?
On a Gran Move, a front boot replacement typically takes around 1–2 hours per side in a workshop, depending on corrosion and access. Costs vary by region and parts choice, but in Australia and New Zealand it’s generally a modest job compared with replacing a full driveshaft or CV joint.
