I am going to fit new axle boots and was wondering if there is a specific way to fit them.
What I mean do you put the seam , with the bolts at the top or on the side, would it make any differance as to where the seam is.

Yes it does make a difference, dont put the seam straight up as the axle moves in that direction and will break the boot. angle it at about 45 degrees which will allow the seam the flex but wont allow the oil to come out.
