Can I replace the boot clamp on my rear slip yoke with a reg hose clamp or zip tie? I can go buy a new clamp if I have to but Im cheap and would rather use something I have instead.
Heres a pic of the old clamp...

I use zipties, but I have my driveshaft off a few times a year and clean/regrease the splines every time it looks bad... a cv halfshaft grease boot strap from the parts store would work well, so would metal zipties, you can get them at home depot.

The boot is just to keep the splines lubed right? Im going to zip tie it then I can lube it as needed. Thanks for the response.

96 and later yeah. Now that I think about it there is no boot on the 95 and earlier ones.The boot is just to keep the splines lubed right? Im going to zip tie it then I can lube it as needed. Thanks for the response.
As long as the boot is keeping water out and grease in, nothing else matters. Do what you gotta do.
I put a ziptie (metal or otherwise, depending on what I have around and how annoyed I am) on it as tight as I can, and never had an issue like I said. If you do it right you can just sorta push the boot back off the slip yoke when you have to pull it apart, then push it back on after, and it seems to keep the water out just fine that way.

Ok thanks. I did ujoints today and needed to get it back together right. I really like the zip tie idea because it's cheap and just has to hold the grease.
