Weird Cv Boot Tears

[JoeBob]

So i discovered last weekend that my inner CV boot on the driver side has torn open... again.. and i replaced the whole axel less than a freaking year ago. So I took a closer look this morning and its weird.. its torn in 3 places.. not all the way around like the first time the boots tore. There are 3 about 1 inch long slits in it.. about the same spot seemingly evenly spaced around the boot.. and they are parallel to the axel. So im not sure what to think.. i thought i hit it with the powerwasher after the run down to pismo but 3 times? evenly spaced? you guys think its a defect in the part?

 

i know what you want to say.. "pictures".. but i dont think you will really be able to make anything out with me using my cell phone camera

sounds like a branch got in there or something and tore em up.

Check where you purchased your axle. It may still be under warranty. Just get another one and send the other back, I do it all the time. It's a pain in the neck to change it, but you'll have to drop it anyway just to replace the boot.

ok..... back to the topic, i would take them back, and ream out the people if they don't give you another one, thats what i did when a parts store wouldn't return my clearly defective battery under warranty.
