so in my quest to fix teh boot (i refused to pay 80 for a new axle when just a stupid rubber boot tears), i finally have come across a decent way to patch it up.
get a replacement boot. 7$ at local parts store. get some grease- 1-3$. get your favorite kind of tape. duct, threaded, stranded, whatever you have lying around that can take the abuse and constant rotation.
take off the old boot, clean insides as much as you can. best would be to wash it out and use compressed air to dry it out.
use a spoon or gun and put some grease in the joint.
cut the boot lengthwise and wrap it around the joint. stuff grease in there. clean off the top and go nuts with your tape. watchout for unraveling. maybe you can use another 3" clamp to hold the end of the last strip.
yes its simple, but you dont wanna know what things i tried before it. yes it works. i did it shortly after i started to get the knocking sound, and it went away. its been like a month already. im dropped 1.8" on eibachs and agx’s with 15’s.
SCORE:: doing it ghetto: 1. doing it proper: 0
