Greasy cv boot less than 2 yrs
I got both cv boots replaced less than 2 yrs ago but one of them is greasy now. The car is only driven on urban road, no gravel road at all, no sharp turn
, and never turn steering wheel when the car is stand still. How could it broke prematurely? Could it be improper installation? Could it be cheap part? |
It could be cheap part if you didn't install OE BMW or GKN Loebro (oe boot is made by them)
|
Those have a ridiculously high failure rate even OE. I've replaced them on a 30,000 mile 3.0i and a 25,000 mile 4.6is.
A case could be made for age, but I've had older cars with higher mileage that had longer lasting boots. I just count them as more "character" - building quirks of E53 ownership...and I sure have built up a shit-ton of character! |
