Hello,
First a bit of history:
Two and a half years ago, I had the front right CV boot replaced
because it
was developing a crack.
4 months ago the heat shielding was removed from the entire exhaust
system.
Last week, the front Right Inner CV Boot ruptured again.
I'd really like to know the most likely cause of this.
Specific Questions:
1. Do Subaru Loyale's just have a bad design, and the CV boot will go
every couple of years?
2. Does my old Catalytic Convertor without heat shielding cooking the
hell out of the CV boot? Would spending the $800 plus dollars to
replace it fix the problem?
3. Do I have to make a home-made shield to guard the boot as another
person suggested?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated,
thanks for your time,
Ryan
