So I am underneath my coach changing the oil and taking care of a few other maintenance issues (more on that later) and I notice a bunch of grease on the trailing side of my right fender liner. A little feeling around revealed another torn CV boot. I replaced these about 4-1.2 years ago, maybe 25,000 miles, and here one is bad AGAIN!.

Fortunately, I have another shaft and new bolts to replace it with, but it is a heck of a lot of work (just venting) The spare shaft has one of the old 'blue boots' on the outer CV that Dan Gregg gave me (used) several years ago. Those seem to last.

What is the average interval that the rest of you guys are having problems with these newer boots?
