New Drag Link Boots - Leather

I ordered a pair of drag link boots Monday night, they got here
today. I was a bit surprised to see they were leather instead of
the normal rubber replacements.

I ordered some of them last summer for my NAA. They are a bit akward to get on but look really cool .

I have posted several times the correct way they go on and the tools I used... If not installed right they will tear all to ell... I would not get crazy with the grease gun after I installed them they will wick grease

Royse-
The original rear drag dust covers were made of leather. Back in 2003, Don Barkley at nnalert had Dennis Carpenter make some repops. They were not the best as I had to really hand grind relief on the IDs to get them to pop over the hubs. They eventually fixed that problem but the last set I bought to replace those a few years ago were now made in Cheena and when I started to squirt grease in them, the leather popped out from the steel assembly. nnalert replaced them with no questions asked and they have since fixed that problem too. I did NOT over grease them. While I was waiting for the replacement leather ones, I bought a pair of the cheaper rubber ones and those are the pits. The vinyl covers got cracked and leaked over a few years. I'd stay with the leather ones and as stated -don't overfill. Also, remember they are only dust seals, not grease seals. One or two squirts every now and then is all that's needed.
