Rear axle Boot maintenance
I need new axle boots on one axle on my 84 300D. The other one is ok but is showing some cracking (Slight). Is there any thing I can do to prolong the life of this other boot?Cleaning , etc??
Thanks, Harry |

I guess that aerospace303 stuff would help.
It has been recommended to me to try and stop the deterioration of ball joint rubber seals. http://www.303products.com/

What about cleaning prior to applying the 303?Any recommendations??
Thanks, Harry |

I'd use something like that water based Marine clean (POR15 degreaser)
Avoid solvent based => might "melt" or oil based stuff => I think that enhances vulcanisation but it could more than likely stop the 303 stuff from doing its job

I'd get a good degreaser on it, then rinse well with water, then spray some isopropl alcohol on it and let it dry.
