Ok I noticed my rims had some weird goo on them so i took them off to see what was up my axel boot was split and grese was everywhere but the weird thing was the other side is the exact same splt in the same spot. Why exactly would the both blow like that within a week of each other. Could something else be wrong besides the boots just being worn out? Thanks

The rubber was made at the same time, exposed to the same environmental conditions, rotated and deformed the same number of times. Why not fail so close together?
