Anyone have any problems with new CV boots ripping? I went ahead and had my CV joints repacked and boots replaced while my trusted mechanic was doing the rear bearings (heard too many horror stories to risk doing it myself). Within 200 miles, right rear outer boot ripped, (replaced and repacked for no charge), and 100 miles later, left inner did same. Mechanic has replaced boots with different brand and is as befuddled as I am. This guy knows VWs, but is their some way of not installing a boot correctly that will cause it to rip? These were seperated completely around the circumference of the boot. Thanks-Scott
