Well after 210,000 miles and 21 years BOTH side boots have torn and come loose on the outside clamp. Basically cut themselves off from the clamp clean. This pretty much happened a few days ago so I'm not worried about the CV's itself, plenty of grease still in there.
It might be usual wear, but I also think my recent 2 inch lift probably sped up the process. Now onto replacing them, should I go OEM or is there a good known aftermarket brand? Also what kind of grease goes into these CV's? And thirdly, what's the best clamps to use? I've heard stretching the booth a little more than usual helps to prevent wear.
Also did anyone else suffer from any boot issues after lifting there truck, like grease spitting out, torn boots, is it common?
