Be sure to keep the part number from that receipt. in the 2 years I've owned my VE, I've changed axles four times arleady (fucking cheap ass boots). They went from having the axles in stock, to across town, to "it'll be here in 3 days- coming from dallas" to "we can't get it, even though it's under warranty and you have the receipt." they can and will get them, but you have to give them the fucking part number because they're too stupid to do it for you. and when the boots go on the axle you've got, just buy new boots for it and save yourself the hassle of trying to get another axle. (as you can plainly see, it's a PITA) the boots also have a lifetime warranty, so swap them out and just keep replacing boots. they always have them in stock, so it's easier than waiting a month for axles.

James (VE 5spd ) 22:26:59 9/26/2003 (4) on the left end of fig 15, there's a tiny one. that one's okay to be missing. --> Matt (93SE) 22:31:15 9/26/2003 (3) I just checked....it definitely has the one on the wheel end... James (VE 5spd ) 22:54:36 9/26/2003 (2) The outer one (that you have) is definitely needed. the inner one should be there to help the seal last longer, but it's okay. --> Matt (93SE) 10:33:57 9/27/2003 (0) Aren't both of those considered dust shields MIKE (93VE) 05:11:56 9/27/2003 (0)
