The only hitch I can see with the split boots are that on the HMMWV they turn nearly twice as fast as any other half shaft without gear reduction hubs, that is quite allot of centrifugal force on an out of balance boot. I can strip the Chicom boots off of the import shafts when approaching...

I am just talking about experience not math, if you swing that shaft around I think you will find it is pretty close to the ball joint stud and that will change with the relatively high RPMs they spin at, might work just fine, why I asked for a test and report, that boot is obviously heavier on...

The half shafts are turning twice as many RPMs as the tires, most vehicles the half shafts turn the same RPM as the tires has little to do with the engine RPMs I have ripped up many half shaft boots on the ball joint stud on my DuraVee

Just make sure you have enough clearance, those things grow while spinning a bazillion RPM. I would expect that one to be out of balance in the exact wrong place where it would grow where you have the least clearance, these run almost twice the RPM as a "regular" half shaft , run it down the...
