    Hey guys

    I have Camburg UCAs that came with Moog ball joints and were installed last summer. By late Aug the driver side boot on the ball joint was slightly cracked. Passenger side was fine. Camburg sent a replacement. The ball joint was fine so just replaced the boot. The new boot was installed over 2 weeks ago and that has cracked bad. Grease is pouring out of it. I can't see anything I could have done to do that. Anyone have any experience with Moog joints?

    That rubber seems really flexible and strong. How can that split open twice??

    Im not surprised, moog quality is really hit or miss. They seem to buy smaller companies and toss those parts in their boxes. I cant tell you how many times i ordered a pair of outer tie rods or ball joints and got different brands and colored boots from them but each came in a moog box!
