H22 EG Avid cv boot problem
'93 EG
'95 JDM H22 w/LSD
Avid drive shafts
Few bolt-ons
I recently purchased Avid driveshafts brand new. Within a week the inner passanger side inner cv boot split open (wasn't ripped, small splice/burst), so I replaced it figured maybe I caught something on the road cause my car is prettty low about 2.5". But since then I've been very carefull and sure enough about a week or so later the same thing happens to the driver side inner cv boot. I was driving made a right turn onto a straight and hammered it, only brought it up to the top of second full throttle and I heard a slight pop, thought nothing of it sure enough got home popped my hood and the boot was ripped. Does anyone know what could be causing this? It seems like either my driveshafts are flexing so much they hit the ground or that my cv boots are exploding on there own lol? I also noticed there isn't much play on the shafts they are very tight. Any help would be greatly appreciated I don't want to replace cv boots every week.
Thanks

Re: H22 EG Avid cv boot problem (anth2k4)
Hey, there I was just cruising around and saw your post. There could many issues surrounding this. Your car could be really low and that will change the angle of the axles. Or you could be hitting something on the road, especially the beautiful roads that we have in Toronto. But the best thing to do is give us a call and we'll be able to help. Toll free 866-507-2843. Hope this helps.
