reading around, one of the biggest things with IFS seems to be tearing boots. Usually due from old age and exposure. Has anyone thought of putting a good non silicone base rubber treatment like 3M's? Mabey help extend the life of the rubber? I meen even If you had to reach under and spray them every week or so would it be worth having a cv boot last twice as long? Just a thought and I would like to hear some of your opinions.
Here is a link with a lil info on rubber protecting

I checked the link out, and I like the idea. I may get around to doing that.

I'm goin' with some high quality non-rubber boots when the 3 rubber ones that are left do finally go. You see I found some cheap on rockauto.com, so I tried one here recently when a standard rubber one failed. They're the Spicer Professional Grade, and they are NICE! Super sturdy material, I wanna say it's polyurethane, but I don't know for sure. I've bought many boots in my day for a number of vehicles and these are my recommendation by far.

 

Ive been seeing alot of talk about those boots. Let me know how they work out. My personal finance manager (the wife) will only let me SAS one vehical so the 4runner is gonna have to stay IFS
