I have guards, only 160 easy trail miles. Is this common?

Called on dealer = $100.00 + $30.00 boot kit.
Called 2nd dealer = $90.00 + $30.00 boot kit.
Called motorsports guy, $45.00 + 30.00 boot kit. He uses OEM for a good fit.

Who would you use! I know who I am going to see.

Just a suggestion on PM for CV boots. Wiping down the boots with WD 40 once in a while will help preserve the boots longer. (FYI) It works great on dry squeaky fan belts too, works better than belt dressing.

PM (Preventive Maintenance)

Yes, WD 40 help in keeping the rubber soft and keeps it from cracking.
Yes again as fair as fan belts, also helps to keep it from glazing which cause squealing.
Been a tip I've past on for years in the old day working in 4X4 shop. I also use it on my serpintene belts on my new vehicles I've owned.

WD 40 also works on trolling fishing lurers. Can't varify it but was told WD 40 has shrimp oil in it. But I've seen it work trolling for salmon and trout.
