Also, remember to position the inner bolt clamp straight up, or when you turn, the bolt will catch on the steering kuckle and rip everyting apart. I found out the hard way...
I see the boots being torn more than the zipper failing. A lot of the time the inner clamp bolt punctures the boot due to poor placement and lenght of the bolt. A little seepage from the zipper is normal.
It would be a pain to replace them without the zipper, you would have to take the backing plate and such off, wouldn't you? I can replace them in 20minutes, the worst part is removing/installing the tire!
There is no actual interference with the steering stop, the zipper just ends up being right in the way, a little tight in that area. Thanks for all the responses, I just want to be sure I have been installing them correctly.
The knuckle boots I get have "Top" stamped on them, The left side zipper installs towards the front of the truck, but, the right side zipper is toward the rear and interferes with the steering stop bolt. Is this right?
