-
Attaching the boot to the outer body of the joint frequently requires compressing or squeezing the boot. This can leave too little air inside the
boot, which may cause a crease to develop (arrow).
-
For this reason, after installing the boot, ventilate it briefly by letting some air in at the small diameter end to restore the correct shape.
