Abstract
Boot systems and boot attachment methods are provided to protect a double-tube vehicle driveshaft from premature wear or corrosion. One boot system comprises a boot portion having annular folds, opposite ends, and collar portions. The collar portions adjoin the boot portion at its opposite ends. At least one of the collar portions has a splined portion. The boot system may be utilized in a driveshaft comprising first and second members having splined portions. The second member of such a driveshaft is telescopically resident within the first member, and the splined portion of the first member cooperates with the splined portion of the second member. The boot attachment method involves sliding the boot over at least a part of the first and second members of the driveshaft, and securing the first and second collar portions to the respective first and second members. During this process, the splined portion of at least one of the collar portions cooperates with the splined portion of at least one of the first and second members.
