Abstract
A boot-mounting structure for a constant velocity universal joint has a configuration which can prevent a crack caused by interference with a boot band while maintaining a stable sealing property. The boot band () is fitted into a fitting groove of a silicone boot (), and is decreased in diameter while being attached into the fitting groove, to thereby fix the silicone boot (). The boot band () is formed into an annular body not provided with a folded-back portion. There is provided a no-interference structure means (S) for preventing interference caused, when the boot band is decreased in diameter, between an axial outer-peripheral-edge portion (or) of the band () and a bottom end portion (or) of the fitting groove () corresponding thereto.
