I saw someone with a 2.0 Cayman that had this same thing going on, he thought he had an oil leak at first and then found it to be the clamp. I'm thinking that during production of the half shafts they are not crimping the clamps as much as is required. You have to be careful not to tighten them too much, as the band can cut the boot. Best to check the other 6 clamps to see if they are a touch loose. Nice tool for those O-clamps you used, I just have the pliers made for doing the installation.
@warrenlucier5796 yeah, pretty common from what I'm hearing from other guys recently. I mean if you look at where it's crimped..they just need to crimp it just a little bit more
@@lsturbointeg to replace both rear drive axles. I didn't see a tear in the boot while it was up on the lift. I'm going to check it myself and look all around it for a tear.. I hope for the best. Otherwise it's going to be expensive.
@@lsturbointeg That is what I'm thinking. Their solution is just change it all out. I'm going to watch your video a bunch of times and try to do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial.
sux to think a car of this value has a "common issue" in general...looks amazing tho! nice work man
@Skyemajor agree! Simple fix tho.

I just got a quote for 4500 to replace both rear. The parts cost 3000 and 1500 for the labor. Sounds reasonable?
@@jacccamo to replace the clamps or the axle? Are the boots torn?

@@jacccamo wait, so why do they need to be replaced if it's not torn or leaking?
