I don't think that the turning will make that much differance in CV boot life. After all, FWD vehicles are always turning the boots and they usually only fail due to dryrot or tearing.


That's true. But make sure that the slip joint on the front driveshaft is well greased if you are going to drive around with the hubs locked. I didn't and paid the price. The slip joint froze up so the front driveshaft couldn't flex under torque. That put stress on the front diff pinion seal and it blew. Needed new pinion seal AND new front driveshaft because it was rusted solid. Ask Dave, I sent him my old driveshaft. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
