Thanks, Tom... I asked the shop and they claim the boots were fine when I brought it in the second time to try to fix it. As for the tear, where on the boot would it tear? At the top? If so, do you guys just apply some grease to that area?

What about the spring itself? Is there a proper orientation like the printed part number should face up/ the rubber isolators on the spring itself should be near the top? Sorry for asking all these questions but I appreciate everyone's support!
