Personally, I'd like to see oil utilized on the reboot...........I'm not a fan of the usual choice of grease due to the inability to fully pack the boot and the resulting unbalance caused by centrifugal force.
at the risk of turning this into an oil thread...
what do you recommend be put into the boot? i am all for doing it RIGHT!
