Subject: CV joint boots

CV joint boots are like so many other parts these days. The quality just is
not there and often critical design details are missed. For the Rockford
boots many of us recently started using it think the main problem is that
they are too stiff or beefy for our application. This companies products are
often used by the front axle-reman drive shaft industry. There are different
designs for the 100mm 6 bolt flange. Most often I see these on the inners of
front drive vehicles where they operate mostly in a straight line For FWD
the other really need to articulate just like on a Syncro. For now I'll be
going back to the REIN BKN0004R.

As for carrying a spare drive axle, for automatics keep in mind the left and
right axles are different lengths. For all the single points of failure that
leave you on the roadside the CV joints are amongst the last part I would
carry. Many Vanagons are still running on the originals.
