Much less than the original German Made Boots....
If its a swing axle, maybe 5 years....
IRS rear axle boots 5 years.....
It All depends on where they come from....
and I'm guessing they come from Brazil or Mexico.....
The original german made boots lasted 10-20 years or more..
before they broke open....

I had some that lasted a week on a Magna a few years ago...
then I found some very nice USA Made ones.....
I'd like to see some USA Made ones for an IRS rear axle...
The stuff We are buying generally comes from Brazil.... but there are many factories there make VW parts....
If Someone would just find the BEST factory in Brazil....
or from the USA... without costing the earth....
