PSA: UCA Dust Boot...caca

[scrubs]

Reached 500 miles last week and Started a complete check of everything from start of manual, hoping to avoid issues once pretty paint is on. We'll, didn't get very far. DS UCA dust boot pic attached and PS not leaking (yet), but has the rubber already cracking like old dried out rubber. Swapping for ES dust boots (one done today)...

Not sure if I am a one off, but future builders may wanna consider ES from the get go.

Cheers,

Agreed! I sourced the Energy suspension boots early on at the recommendation of the builders that I admire. For those builders who have not done this: the Energy Suspension Polyurethane boots seem overly stiff and don't seem to fit if you are just test fitting them, but believe me, when you properly install the upper ball joint to the spindle, everything fits just fine and flexes just the right amount without pulling out anywhere :)
