are they all riping at the same spot?
your using the GT tranmission right? so it cant be the stretch axel problem... Maybe its from the extra heat? |

Was it replaced with a brand new one the first time it ripped?
Where did you get the boot from? How many miles? --------------------  |

How many miles? about 3k miles boot came with the auto zone axle the first axle was replaced because it was OEM and the boot gave way. The second was used and not rebuilt the boot DIDNT break on that but the cv was crunching SO i changed it for this one and with a few months the boot has ripped. Im getting another from auto zone free of charge. n e way i hope this one does well |

the rebuilt axles that autozone sells are of really poor quality. youll probably go through this a few times until you luck out with a good one.
