AAGH!

I've got one year of use on a brand new set of 4 CV joint boots.

One of them has completely failed. In just one year!

I just got back from my FLAPS with another brand new boot.

Guess where it's made?

I'm not expecting this one to last very long either. The rubber looks like it has a high vinyl content or something like that; it's really shiney.

Since when did Beck Arney start sourcing parts in China?

Lordco (my FLAPS) never offers a selection of manufacturers for a part. If this one dies as quickly as the last one I'll have to source a real part over the Interwebs rather than supporting my FLAPS.

I'm quite disappointed.

You want Rein, which used to be marketed under the Meistersatz name.
They make a quality replacement that fits and lasts as long as OEM.
In fact, they are OE on a lot of European vehicles.
