Hi guys,

I am dealing with exactly the same issue here. A year and a half ago a respected P-car specialist in Tampa did an engine out service on my 1984 Carrera Turbo Look.

We replaced the 35 year old boots with what I believe to be OEM units all around. I've driven the car less than 2,000 miles and the outboard boots are shredded and slinging grease.

I've looked at the units in Pelican's catalog and the reviews indicate the same is happening with the replacements we buy there.

I believe the problem persists in rubber bushes for our suspensions etc. It looks as if I'll have to go to Elephant and pay astronomical prices for rubber that I can count on, or Porsche which is as bad.

I recently bought Porsche seals for my front and rear windscreens because I don't want to do them for another 35 years?

Removing those damn axles is time consuming and expensive only to have the problem again in a year and a half.

It's disgusting to save a few pennies in manufacturing.
