First of all, those things are great, after intalling them and dialing the right numbers excessive tire wear is gone and the car drives like it suppose to. However, I hate to see bad components on these BJ because it just brings the whole value of the product down, not to mention company reputation and extra TIME and MONEY needed to fix the problem.

So the s*** piece I'm talking about is the small, rubber boot that holds the grease inside and protects it from dust, dirt, water and what ever. In my case both boots poped open at the base, mixing grease with sand and etc, not very pleasant... Anyway, I got a pair of cheapest BJs and swaped the boots. I wish I knew that earlier))

Here's driver's side brake:

And here's the mix of grease and sand or mostly sand in the pass. side:

How it's suppose to be, after I replaced the boot:

Just giving a heads up for people who want to put them in))
 
Thanks for the tip. I've had the SPC ball joints installed on a stock suspension MS6 for 30k miles and the boots are still in tact. I see you have coil overs, maybe the angle induced on this ball joint contributed to the failure?
