I had my first set replaced when the car was under 1 year old, and now at nearly 3 years, they show the same fault.
The rubber gaiters on the calipes have desintegrated again! The cables aren't seized, but now all the dirt can get in them so it's only a matter of time. So far I've put some coppaslip under the remainder of the boots, and I'll replace the gaiters first chance I get, from an old set of cables.
I checked the cables before going on vacation last summer and they were fine. I believe it's theroad salt that's attacking them as the last 2 wintetrs we didn't get any salt on the roads, but the car did see salt the first winter, and this winter.
