Zusammenfassung:A convoluted boot assembly particularly suited for sealing a sideshaft connected to a constant velocity joint and arranged at the axle drive of a motor vehicle, relative to the housing of the axle drive. The convoluted boot assembly includes a convoluted boot ( 21 ) which includes a first collar ( 22 ) to be secured relative to the shaft ( 41 ), a second collar ( 23 ) to be connected to the housing ( 51 ) and a boot region ( 24 ) which connects the two collars ( 22, 23 ) and serves to offset the angular movements of the shaft. The assembly also includes a protective cap ( 31 ) which is secured to the first collar ( 22 ) and which encloses the boot region ( 24 ) of the convoluted boot ( 21 ) at least substantially in the direction pointing to the second collar ( 23 ), and a bearing assembly ( 11 ) for supporting the convoluted boot ( 21 ) on the shaft ( 41 ), as well as a seal ( 16 ) for sealing the first collar ( 22 ) relative to the shaft ( 41 ).
