For a while, every time I went to the track, one of the boots would twist up, and then tear. You can get replacement boot kits from NAPA or Ford.

Then I figured out two little tricks that prevent it from happening. I'v had the same boot on there now for about 4-5 years.

First, when you atach the small end around the axle, smear some greas on the contact area, and then leave the clamps on a littl loose.

Second, place some zip ties around the boot to give it a little extra support.
