NOTE: The inner tripod joint sealing boots are made from two different types of material. High temperature applications (close to exhaust system)
use silicone rubber whereas standard temperature applications use Hytrel plastic. The silicone sealing boots are soft and pliable. The Hytrel sealing
boots are stiff and rigid. The replacement sealing boot MUST BE the same type of material as the sealing boot that was removed.
