CVJ Boot Band Clamp Source? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does anyone know a source for the Inner CVJ Boot Clamps (the larger one)?

Thought I could buy them from Subaru or Toyota but strangely, the larger clamp is discontinued with no superseded part number...is there a "universal" or other part number that fits?

Subaru P/N: 23242GA320
Toyota P/N: SU003-07352

Yes, it shows as available on many parts sites, but when I order it I get an email back that they are no longer available.

I bought the tool less ones at autozone and they are holding up. I have a universal boot clamp kit and I found if you get them too tight they pop off.

I have the tool that uses the metal bands you tighten then fold over. I found the Dorman 614-066 worked well.

In case anyone is interested, Subaru says I could use a 2015+ Sti band clamp, P/N: 23242GA400 or order the entire boot kit (includes both bands, boot and grease) P/N: 28497FE021.

The Dorman P/N above seems promising too.

Looks like the Dorman 614-066 is just CV Axle Grease, the proper band kit is Dorman 03637, it includes 3 clamps size, for a BRZ/FRS/86 the inner boot will use the 3.26-3.39" larger clamp and the 1.16-1.36" smaller clamp. The 3rd clamp (3.67-3.80") is too large and will be thrown away.

Kit is around $9 on Amazon, you can also get Redline CV-2 Synthetic CV Axle Grease from Amazon as well, it's higher temp and won't liquify like the OEM grease. It's $19 a tube with enough to refill 4/5 boots.

My mistake. I had some clamps I used (Dorman #614-069) in the bag the grease came in. But I like the kit if you're doing both clamps anyway.
