I bought the car (98 gst) with a torn inner and outer cv axle boot on the drivers front. Due to both being torn and quite gummed up from a long period of time, I replaced the entire half shaft. The outer boot has torn again in almost no time. I have't found anything coming close to hitting the boot. I don't have any leads to why its tearing boots. Anyone experience this and have suggestions on whats causing it?
Axle boots are cheap and I have a new one on the way. I know how to install them and have the tools, but it's still an annoyance and I don't want it to happen again. It's not the ends or the clamps, its literally torn completely into two pieces down the center slinging all the grease out.
