P1000 Super ATV Rhino 2.0 axle boot problems!

[Remington]

I'd still recommend the stops, but if you decide not to run them...just be aware of your axle angles at full drop and full turn.

Sorry guys it's been a long busy week truckin. But upon further investigation when I got home last weekend there was a tiny pinhole in the boot about half way between the clamps. Talked with Jared @TexasToughCustoms and he said that with his lift and the extended axles that there is no need to run steering stops. I'll be home tomorrow to install the new axle and will stroke it both ways as previously recommended (no pun intended) and see what happens. The axle degrees are not bad at all. Maybe even less angle that stock. I mean it only makes sense, if you go up 4 1/2 to 5 inches at the same time you moved to steering knuckle out 5 inches it doesn't change a thing as far as the angle goes. Obviously you put the other angle in there by moving it forward but that doesn't make it an extreme angle. So we'll see. Will be testing it out this weekend. Having a ride with alot of friends in memory of my best friend, who the good lord decided it was time to ride, fish, and watch dirt track racing from a much higher place. 48 years old and riding his wheeler to the river July 3rd when God called him home. So about to take the first ride without him I think ever since 2001-02. Gonna be the hardest ride ever, but I know that is what my brother from another would have wanted us to do for him.

Sad face first and then Happy face. You know he would want you to keep ridding.

I've had two Rhino 2 rear axle boots go to s*** this Summer. Starting to rethink the SATV axles.

POIDH!!!

punctured, ripped, came out of band clamp?

u tightened band clamp when boot axle was at extreme angle to account for max stretch plus a little ?
