I've got a split one on the driver side. The rubber still looks good, but it split, I believe, because it was stretched out a little too much when installed.
The CV joint is still good AFAIK. Would it be hard to install one myself? I've never done it, but have the usual tools and do lots of service work on my cars. I've also heard of "split boot devices" that can be wrapped around the axle and serve the purpose of the original boot, after of course removing the old boot. With these, the job is obviously much easier. Anybody know about these things? Thanks a bunch.
