What did you do?

That looks like pickle fork damage.

Based on the lack of surface corrosion and your location I guess you’re all good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

On a more serious note, is that just dry rot of the boot or what?

One year old uro tie

Was gonna say sort of turbo tie rod? I was puzzled when the prices began to drop a few years back. Did it give any warning signs that things we’re going bad?

YUP

Pretty common with cheap modern rubber. I would say its a Chinese rubber thing but its wider spread than that. I have 914rubber triangle window seals that look like a 90 year old woman after having spent only a handful of days in the sun.

lack of necessary antiozonants is believed to be the problem, but pretty much anything URO that is made of rubber has a high chance of crumbling within a year or two.
