Multibeemer is on a distinguished road
Is there any actual recent, relevant data on the unreliability of split CV Boots? Yanking an axle to replace a boot is an INSANE amount of work - I could replace 20 of the split boots in the amount of time it takes to pull out an axle to do it. I don't understand why a split, glueable boot would inherently be less reliable than a solid boot. If it is, it must be due to poor execution on the part of the manufacturers, as opposed to a bad design. If so, there's a great business opportunity for someone to do this right!
