Well I dont mean 4x4ing I mean off road like rutted logging roads I dont
think these roads in the Great PNW are realy 4x4 territory
besides the small end of the boot is still quite tight I cant realy see dirt
getting in there any ways..
do you think  lobro engineering realy beleive that crimps will add to
boot/cv life
by keeping debris out of the joint with this crimp ?
seems to me just 1 long  drop of a sidewalk for those not going
"OFF ROAD" would enuff to ariculate the cv & pull the boot of the flange,
or maybe it is more design issue why dont they use a sealant / glue on the
boot in the flange
rather than just a press fit ?? do any of the boot makers rockford,
lemmforder, cdn tarani
use a sealant on the boot flange interface ?
