OE 97387-477 — C.V. Boot for Hyundai / Kia

A supersession happens when the maker revises a c.v. boot and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 97387-477 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Position depends on the platform. On most Hyundai / Kia applications the c.v. boot sits on the engine & fuel system assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Wholesale pricing for 97387-477 depends on order quantity, surface treatment and packing. Standard references are quoted ex-Guangzhou with tiered pricing from 10 pieces upward — send quantity and destination port and a quotation usually returns within one business day.

Aftermarket c.v. boot comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

Incoming batches pass a dimensional check, a material look-up against the engine & fuel system specification, and a visual inspection for finish defects. Critical dimensions are measured per carton and the photographs are archived against the order number.
