I bought the Durango "driveshaft boot wheel axle" rubber boots to prevent dirt/sand from getting into the CVD assembly, and creating a grinding paste with the grease. I greased the balls and cups carefully and put the boots on either side. However after a quick run the larger end of the boots slip off the ridge they are supposed to sit in, and leave a gap. Has anyone had this problem, or a similar problem on a different car? Am i doing something wrong? Is there a fix to the problem?

Any help would be appreciated,
Ed.

He's not wrong.
You'll be better off buying a can of compressed air/oil/brake cleaner or whatever and blasting them out every now and again rather then using the boots.
