Jeremy,

Don't sweat the collapsed boots. They will expand and straighten out with some centrifugal force and some warm air. Happened when I replaced them on my old 300D. Totaled that car and pulled those CVJ axles for future use. Put them in two weeks ago (after they sat for almost 2 years) in my replacement 300D and there are no collapsed boots. Proceeded to drive 400 miles up to the Kern River 4 days later and no issues.

CVJ does a good job.
