I appologize.  O.K.?  Not trying to sound like a
pr*ck.  Many "rebuilders" do anything but.  They
regrind using oversized and mismatched balls.  Their
tolerances are not up to snuff.  They use a different
rubber compound on their boots.  They harden and crack
much quicker than the stock boots.  But they DO spray
paint them a nice, sh*tty color which is bound to
peel, smear or wash off.  BTDT.  Generally, they just
don't last.  That's my BTDT.  If anyone has found a
company that builds axles that actually last 50-100k
please tell me who they are, cause I'll buy some.
Thanks.
