my wife drives a 2005 hemi durango. I cranked the torsion bars a bit to make room for the helo wheels and 265/70/17 good years. I took it to the best alignment shop in town and had everything aligned when we done this and made sure there were no issues created by altering the stock ride height.

My question is- have any of you had problems with blowing the cv boot(s) on your durango? Ours has 32k miles on it now and we just got it back from the dealer where they replaced the right side boot for a second time. She still notices a clunking sound up front and the clueless dealer we have in town can't find it or give me a good explanation of what would cause this thing to keep blowing the boot on the right side. Any ideas???

 

Go to a different dealer before your warranty expires.

 

How much did you raise it? 1 1/2 to 2" is the max on a torsion lift. Anymore than that will put the CV joint in such an extreme angle they will wear out. A good alignment won't help the CV joint angle.

 

I would say it is up at least 1 1/2 from stock. My question is though, if it were the cv angle causing this why is it only tearing the right side boot and not the left one??? Any ideas?
