Don't bother with split boots

I just installed one, and the seam has separated (you have to glue it closed).
The split boots seem to be made of a harder, plastic material that doesn't like to "give" when you turn the wheel sharply. They glue together nicely when the wheels are straight, but there is too much strain when turning, especially if the wheels are turning at 70 mph. Eventually, it will separate around the split.
Just take the extra time to use the normal boot, and be done with it.
