Re: [T3] swing axle boots


Well I got a little bored yesterday afternoon and went ahead and installed them. While i did use the sealant and I did put the seams horizontal, I have the seam towards the front of the car. Think this will be an issue? I looked in the BIG Bentley (early T3) and it did have a picture of the installation of split boots and from what I can see it looks like they have the seam pointing foward also. 
A big raspberry to the aftermarket boots, Jim. I got two different boots from my FLVWAPS guy. One was German- went on like a dream. Second was Brazilian, I think and this was way small. I should have left that original side on (it wasn't the one that was leaking but always replace in pairs, you know.)
