Strange that all 4 went bad too. It this Arizona-heat related? That place is an oven July and August!

Russ said he came over here from Southern California and he's seen more CV boots split in 3 years than in 10 in CA.

I think what kills them here is the heat, combined with the extreme dryness. It just destroys the rubber and after awhile, they just give out. Of course it could also be a combination of temperature changes. I took the car from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and the temp. difference was probably 50+ degrees. So that may have been the nail in the coffin of my poor CV boots.

Probably a LOT of residual heat off the pavement too, combined with stop-and-go daily driving. They get cooked.
