I agree. I recall reading of proper boot installation prior to doing my own CV's. Can't recall exactly where Could have been here: http://www.van-cafe.com/vanagonparts.jsp?pa=ip&ip=1150562894 Good info btw. Anyhow.... It is possible to incorrectly install and secure boot so small end of boot is pushed too close to the big end. I guess if too close, bellows would rub and/or just "turn" poorly. For lack of better description. Neil.
