Of obviously crappy quality. The boots the reman operatins use degrades
VERY quickly, especially in urban areas with lots of ground-level ozone.

Last time I replaced CVs, only the outer was bad, so I got an OEM Lobro
boot for the inner for $15, and a brand new Lobro outer joint and boot for
$75.  Even if I had to replace both joints, it is almost the same price
as a rebuilt.
