I believe it does hold better. I have a Dodge minivan with original Hytrel boots at 157,000 miles. Should I have to replace an inner boot on the Tribeca, I would leave the outer alone.I didn't even notice that. Will the Hytrel just just be more resistant to failure?
I'm keeping the originals to rebuild later on. They were not popping just leaking and vibration.
I hope not. ... I actually needed to punch them in from the other side lol it bent back without trouble and the dust shield was no big deal either.EMPI shipped the axle to you with the pin partly installed?
Mine had the pin taped to the axle.
They recently got sold off to another company - hope the quality isn't going downhill.
