If the boots are failing that fast, you are installing them wrong. First
though is you are overfilling with grease. In a properly greased joint,
the grease will never touch the boot. Make sure the small end is located
properly on the shaft and that the air pressure inside it is equalized
after it is installed.

Subject: Bus CV Boots Busted again

Does anyone know where I can get some boots that will
last longer than 400 miles, my poor vanagon(80 Westy)
has had now three sets of boots put on it to no avail,
they keep busting. One good thing , I am getting real
good at changing and packing the boots. The last set
came from The Parts Bin., the first ones were from
locals they didn't even make it to the highway. Phil
