I don't think this is an isolated problem, Jonathan.

All of the Lobro CV boots that I installed a little over a year ago
showed signs of cracking when I replaced another bad joint last April.
So, 5 months and only 3000 miles! I passed this info on to Peter at
Van Cafe where I bought the boots.

Peter wrote back:

" thanks for the feedback on the boots. These are rough waters to
navigate these days when name companies now outsource production to
less developed countries and companies that are based in Germany label
their products with "Germany" written on them as opposed to "made in
Germany" but make the parts in China.  I will scrutinize the boots
that we are using and look into the Rockfords.
That is also a good suggestion about the ready to go Lobro axle.
Thank You,
Peter "

It would be good to hear from all of you out there who are having
problems with these boots so that maybe Lobro will stop selling
inferior parts.

On that note, I am going to crawl under my van next chance I get to
check all 8 boots. Let you know...
