CV Boot Leak

Seems like after reading a post on the blue forum about people's CV boot leak I get mine. It's weird since I don't have my ICONs on a major lift, in fact when looking at the boot and the diff it's almost horizontal. I noticed the leak soon after I installed the rear spring/struts and had to lift up the front abit. My theory is that when lifting the front to adjust the coilovers, perhaps the boot clamps got loose because of the extreme angle on full droop. Anyhow there was a sinple solution, to use stainless steel hose clamps from West Marine that fit like a glove, and so far all is good. Will keep checking it weekly.
