If you are using a CV joint kit, the one that I used came with boots and clamps so I assumed that they were correct. The purpose of the boot is to keep the grease in and dirt out. Using that as a guideline, I would install the boot to give the most flex while steering the wheels and still remain in position.

Hello,
I am replacing the outer CV joints and boots on a 7.5'' disk brake setup.
The rubber boot has 2 internal rings spaced roughly 1/2'' apart.
Which one should sit in the hub's groove?
The outer one or the inner one?
Looking at pictures and videos on the net, I'm finding both instances...
Thanks for your help.
