I have had very good luck with the boots on my van, about 230,000 miles. I check them frequently and have found no problems with them so far. The CV joints need tending to about every 90,000 miles. I just cleaned them up and reassemble. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greenamyer, William L" <william.l.greenamyer@BOEING.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 5:25 AM Subject: CV boots life
