I bought my car (2000 S 6 spd) off BaT in October and PO put rock auto Trakmotive axles on the car. They were doing fine but once I hit triple digit speeds, like my last lapping day, the boot gives way making awful mess. Pulled the axles today to find the outer joint flange is not the same as the OE one so the boots from GKN dont fit and I cannot find a replacement boot anywhere for these axles outer CV. my guess is, if i could it would be cheap crap rubber that would split at track speeds again.
So I am asking if anyone with track or high speed performance driving experience knows of options out there. FCP euro seems to have Porsche Brand axles but at 1200 a piece! i just need quality rubber boots, so it is hard to swallow that pill, but I may have to. So far I have had to pull an axle out on this car 5 times either replacing a crappy boot, or crappy clamps that slipped allowing the boot to fling its grease everywhere. The amount of brake cleaner i have used for all of these messes is criminal.
ANYONE have proven suggestions that will withstand track speeds? I was having no problems, not even at autoX, but the track speed is high enough I guess.
Cheers!
