Default yes Kris, wassup?

I had two front outers done by my dealer in June and they are both split and sprayed out again in September! Crap parts, or an "installer" issue.

Default Calm down Bernie.. First time it was blown out. Second time, I attempted to replace the joint...

but unfortunately was sent the wrong part, so I had to use up a kit I had and put back on the worn out joint. Third time was to replace the joint. This time, my belly pan got crushed and torn off this past winter attempting to drive over a huge pile of snow, and as I drove over it, it must have put a nick in the boot (well, I KNOW something did, as I've been getting grease drops here and there for a while, and there was a very small tear in the boot early this summer, and it finally got to the point where it needed to be replaced.
