AS 2.5 Installed 36 hrs ago...
 

I have a problem. I just got my AS 2.5 Kit installed less than 36 hrs ago and now my front passenger axle boot is busted. Is this from the kit or did the person doing the install screw something up. Only reason i noticed was i took it in for its 30K service and they told me. And now i have grease over everything. What should i do, other than get it fixed of course, but is it my fault or the installers? Any opinions would be helpful.

Sounds like the installer may have torn it during the install. But it will be hard to prove. Ide take it back and tell them about it and see what they say.

Ok, thats what i planned on doing. Any idea round about how much it will cost to fix?

90 for the boot from ford and for them to put it in like 250. i ripped a boot once, (my own fault) and they wanted $90 for the parts and almost $300 for labor but not every dealer is the same.

I would try and talk to the people who installed it... thousands of people run level kits for several months w/o even noticing wear on components.... That definitely sounds like the installer's fault - probably torn during install... unless your CV boot just happen to dryrot and rip open - which I could see happening on an older truck, but not yours which is an 06....

Its only Got 32k miles and its never been Off-roaded really other than driving through a field to get fire wood. Thanks for the Input i am going to call the installers today and see what they say.

hey did he have to pry on the a arm to get it in and if so did the pry bar slip i almost ripped mine that way till my buddy told me where i was putting the tip and after that i payed a little more attention

I dont know i called the place and they are looking into it. The person i talked to was the manager and he even said the kit shouldnt have done it. So i am just waiting to see what they do.

ok just got off the phone with the Installers and they are going to replace it. They already have the boot ordered. Should be getting it fixed monday morning. Thanks everyone.

That's great customer service right there....not a lot of places would come clean and offer to do that.

man most shops would deny deny deny like most of the married men do when there caught! thats awesome hope they don't screw up again and mess up the install of the boot!

That worked out well for you. Kudos for keeping a level head. :thumbsup:
