Matt;
        Make sure the new boots are stretched out to the ridges on the
axles. On the first couple I did I thought that seemed like a lot of
tension on the rubber so I left them more relaxed. What happens is the
bellows will then rub on each other and create heat. This leads to
premature failure. TMSAISWI.
