But even then, isn't the whole back side (around the bushings) open to weather too?
Yup.
What did you do to your GMT today?
Yup.

Sounds like Summit, my order I placed on Dec 3rd, magically shipped the same Friday I called them, hope it shows up this week. Who knows since I didn't get any tracking information.

Where are you guys getting these Detroit CV axles? Google searches return nothing, and what's so wonderful about them?

the boots don't tend to rip if you used to have a problem with that.

Kyle says they don't suck, and the boot actually stays on.

My stockers are still good, but 2 spares in the rig with my two spare hubs can't hurt either, especially at the cost.

The cost...
I had awful luck with Cardone and another ebay vendor or two when my stockers finally went. These have had been the best I have found since stockers.

The big difference is that they use the 3 rib inner boot, vs the 2 rib that many manufacturers have switched to. 2 rib inner boots are almost guaranteed not to last.
