So that's what it's called. Do you have any idea how could this happen?

Default Being that they are covered in grease, I doubt that's the problem..
My guess is the actual outer case cracked.

Default But, removing it as a whole, even to replace the boot, should not cause this kind of failure.
perhaps it's just a bad piece?
