Bad news, while working on the rear trailing arm I saw that a Dorman Axle Boot I installed 6 years ago is cracking.

The rubber looks extremely dried out. Note that the car seldom gets driven more then 5000 miles per year but sits in the typical Mcaddam/Tar Mac Parking lot while my wife works. They get hot in the Southren CA Sun.

Since I was working on the Trailing arm I did not take the time to inspect all of the boots.
