I fitted the OME kit from Jeep'n by Al in Oct 2010. 3 years and 8 months later, but only 28,400km (17,600 miles) I had to change them since the boots had perished.
The originals were Moog with black rubber boots.
I fitted Raybestos BJ's which have a blue boot which looked more durable.
After 19,800km (12,300miles) and 3 years and 5 months, the boots had split 3/4 of the way around and water had got inside. Both sides had a small amount of play.
This time I have fitted AC Delco, but I think they have come from the same Chinese manufacturer as the Raybestos, since they look identical, right down to the markings on the boots.
Are others seeing this short life span?
