I put 2 oem CV axles in my LC last year to replace aftermarket axles the dealer had put in which were vibrating like crazy. A couple of months ago I noticed the smaller end of the inboard boot was leaking grease on both axles so I replaced with rolled edge clamps from McMaster-Carr ( part #5574K16 ). After a trip to the mountains this weekend I noticed that a boot was leaking and appeared to be cut at the clamp. Has anyone had problems like this with these clamps? The other side looks fine currently but is there something I need to do to prevent this from happening on the other axle? I swapped in a used, spare aftermarket axle I had until I can get around to rebooting later this year when it's cooler.

Thanks,
Chris
