It does look like some wettness around the cans, have to investigate further later on, but it certainly wasn't what id call dry. Could be from the blown shocks though, or from the diff seal
Ive researched where ive got them via former threads
these are both axles new-
Top one I bought from parts geek, bottom one I bought from rock auto. Both came in AC Cardone reman boxes, but notice the difference in how the boots look. They seem to have undergone dramatic different reman processes, even down to using a different boot souce, and painting vs no paint.
and installed, looks like I put the rock auto no warranty discount on the passenger side with the shiny boots, and its the one ripped-
