> Hi Darrell,
> guess it's not your or your son's van's fault - got a similar experience with my Quantum boots. 2 or 3 made it just 1 year getting me to the conclusion that either boot quality (at least here in Germany) varies considerably, or installation quality (outsourced that job), or some animal liked the smell of new rubber (1 of the guys who installed mine suggested that). After that experience I didn't touch the (outer) boot of my 86 van which is bad for about 2 years by now - the trailing arm seems to protect to some degree and I parked the money for a new joint.
