Those are the same ones I got from advanceautoparts. I think I paid about $70 each.
They seem to be holding up other than some grease flinging out of the outter joint where two peices are pressed together. Boot is clapmed on to a stamped steel peice that is pressed on to the machined part and that is where the grease is comming from.
I had 2 of them do that (out of three), I called the mfg, they said it was just over filled and not to worry about it, they have a lifetime warranty.
I did not buy that reasoning, figured it must be a machining defect.
so, on the 2nd, still on the car, I put a peice of alluminum tape over the junction. If I recall right, they have been on the car for 15K miles now.
