Re: Problem, help needed!!!
a) Just checked mine and are fine. A lot depends on how much salt and other corrosives hit them. This is why whenever I go to the beach, my car gets washed after with special care taken of the undercarriage.
I have sold cars before on pictures of the underside. "No rust" has a different meaning here than in the Midwest.
b) imagine the labor to R&R the axles to do the boots is considerable. That is why split boots are popular for replacements, you do not have to remove the axles.
c) Best way to inspect the underside is on a lift. You can come close with a good digital camera but not as good as the MK 1 eyeball with a powerful light.
