I saw a few listed that were not of good quality- what brand seems to hold up the best?

Re: Quality CV boots
So is the conscious still Lobro with regards to CV boots these days? How about known site/s that sell quality boots?
Anyone ever try to cross reference one of our CV boots from say a Japanese made vehicle? They have rubber that lasts these days.

Re: Quality CV boots
Lobro has questionable quality these days, and part of the reason may be long drying-out sits on the shelf. The caps are getting chintzy with cheap cad plating and they don't fit the joints securely, and the rubber is not terribly flexible.72Hardtop wrote:So is the conscious (consensus-sp edit) still Lobro with regards to CV boots these days?

Rockford has been advertised as off-road tough, but I have seen rubber that is so thick that it does not play well with the angles our CVs work at.
Ein (did I see a box spelled Ein? Hippie?) something or other looked OK.
Other input? We can update the "Known Acceptable" sticky.
