I just got my car back on the road after a few years of rust repair and I've been driving it daily for a few weeks. Sure enough, something else decided to go wrong. Passenger's side outer flex boot busted on the commute home last night.

So I can report that the Astoria 2000 Flexx boots (FB3001 specifically) lasted 151,000 miles and 10 years of driving.

I'll be doing this repair with the same boots and using gear oil. Definitely worth it.
