Abstract
A constant velocity joint boot assembly has a boot can connected to an outer race of the joint. The boot can receives a portion of a boot. The thickness of the boot may be changed in different areas to result in different boot performances. A sleeve is connected to the inner race. A portion of the sleeve may have a complementary shape to a portion of the boot, also to result in different boot performance. A clamp may be located over a portion of the boot to secure it to the sleeve.
