Abstract
A slip spline boot for use in a constant velocity joint of a vehicle drive line includes a plurality of bellows. The plurality of bellows are arranged between a first and second end of the slip spline boot. The plurality of bellows have a specific peak to peak distance and a specific bellow angle for each of the bellows. The symmetrical boot will have the exact same peak to peak distance and bellow angle for each of the plurality of bellows on the slip spline boot. The slip spline boot is made of a high temperature high stiffness thermoplastic elastomer.
