Do you know what year that improvement was done. My car is about 4 years old.

I don't. They've had a couple versions over the years so you'd need remove your old axles and measure. David may also want to see a pic of what you have.
It all started when I needed to replace my torn aero boots. Kirkham's new boots only fit their new axles. It was a bit of an extreme overhaul but GKN makes it impossible to get the old aero boot that Kirkham used at the time. David's option was to use an ugly off the shelf boot, what he called the "John Deer" boot, or I could upgrade. Since I'm running more TQ than most, I figured the upgrade wasn't a bad idea.
BTW, there is a nice 'off the shelf' solution for those needing new boots on old axles. The sand rail "Mini-Max" boot and steel flange will work, looks nice and well made.

Really? Why, might I ask, do you start it monthly?

So that he can put moisture in to the oil and sidepipes. If you had to sleep for five months you'd get thirsty too.  |
