Rein CV boots....anyone else have troubles with them?
 

So we put the X up the other night to replace the driveshaft and some other stuff... and what do I see? The outer CV boot we did about a month ago, split open again and spit out its grease. Now normally I would have opted for the Genuine BMW kit, but needed a replacement pronto and it was the only kit ECS had in stock, ready to ship with the rest of my stuff. I ordered 2 kits, so I do have another one sitting here but if anyone else has had problems with them failing prematurely, I'm just going to chuck it and order the OE kit.

Now I should say that its been brutally cold here since we put that boot in, and maybe I lucked out and managed to get a lemon.....either way I'd appreciate any input anyone has!

James at ECS told me had no problems, but I found OEM kits at Pelican parts for 12.50 apiece so I'd rather do that instead of aftermarket. GKN Loebro makes our boot kits, and sold in their box instead of BMW box you can buy at Pelican!

Good to know, thanks RB!

anytime! OE boots at 38 bucks a side is outrageous!
