Hey all, curious is anyone else is having this issue with their track day Z. I keep tearing the inner axle boot. First time around was at the glen with very aggressive curbs. I was suspecting the car was too low and overextending the boot.
Since then I have raised the ride height in the rear, a few events later the boot fails again.

The car still could be too low, over extending the boot?
Is there a better boot I should be using?

Any experience or tips would be very helpful.

thanks.

 

Ugh- that's a messy failure, but one I have never experienced. I use the Nismo LSD clutch diff and have never (taps on wood) had a boot fail like that in seven years of racing at different circuits around the country. Are you sure you're using the correct stub axles for the diff? There's definitely something wrong mechanically to cause such a failure.

 

I've had two fail on my car with the cusco....it sucks.

 

Yea, the rear end is 100% stock. LSD axle ect.
