    my old axles had issues blowing outer cv joints as well, and because they blew at least 3-4 times the axles were trashed prematurely due to the grease always blowing out.
    the new dss axles, its the same story, except this time I check my outer cv boots way more and the outer cv's blew after about 5k miles. I took it to a shop because i didnt have time to do it and dss sent me free cv boots.

    I spoke with Tad at DSS and he feels the same way they should not be blowing out.
    He said to check for something that my be hitting the boots but there is nothing in that area that is dangling at all.
    Tad also said the cv boots they used are not chinese they are made in cali and they are tougher then the thin oem cv boots.
    I would like to know more about the CV-boots DSS use.
    I also have problems with my CV-boots but it is due to extreme cold temperatures where I live.
    Can you tell me more about them ?


    BT-372 is the way they should look like for the front outer CV-joints.
