Well I blew out 3 out of 4 CV joint boots when I landed after comint out of a dip in the highway at about 90 and went airborne for a fraction of a second (just got my new suspension and though I was superman). Took my wheels off yesterday to clean my brakes and paint the calipers when I say grease everywhere. Here are some questions that I have:

1) What other damage should I look for? (note: the actual frame or engine (oil pan, etc) did not touch when I landed). I'm just looking for damage from the wheel coming back down. the wheel did chirp on impact.

2) Are there stronger boots that I can get that would be able to withstand the increased pressure of a lower, stiffer suspension? and horrible roads

Thanks alot for the help. FYI: I don't plan on crossing the speed limit in the near future. I just had to learn the hard way :rolleyes:

Now I don't feel so bad, I noticed shortly after having the suspension redone that both of my inner's are torn and there is some goop on the ypipe, etc. eek
I do plan on getting it fixed, just trying to find the time!
