axle cv boot

Mr.Sandman · Dec 8, 2023

Hello,
I heard that RAM upgraded the axle cv joint is that true and do MY 2023 got the upgraded one? As i have seen the rubber on the old ones seems to crack exposing the inner part causing the lubricant to dry which could damage the moving part in that part all along.

Well that is good news if they updated them. This was mine a few months ago when I blew it apart on my 2021.

I don't know. I was going to upgrade to RCV's but they don't make one for the TRX so I got one from the dealer. I hope it's the upgrade. I can look at the part number and figure it out.

It turns out they did upgrade the cv joint many times, so there is many different part number. The latest hold the part number 53011128AG

Confirmed. My driver's side boot was leaking from its lip (no tears or cracks that I could see), and they replaced it with this part number under warranty. Didn't manage to grab the part number off the old one to see if it was an older variant.
