There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I like them. Bought a nice pair in Vega. More of a snake skin design in a leather boot. Not as good as my hand made Loblan boots though.

I'm confused, an SJ doesn't have any CV gaiters/boots. :er: :D

Some have gaiters on the props I think. Not on the UJs but on the telescoping part. I think mine does.

Do you mean the steering knuckle seals and felts? If you have oil leaking from here then it is the inner half shaft oil seal that has failed and will need replacing
