Silicone Driveshaft Axle Boots...
Anyone use these? Kind of pricey at $40 (***EDIT*** I found others selling 4 for $22! so I updated the link below...) but it looks like these would keep out the dirt, mud, grime even water maybe and protect the bearings...

I’ve heard they stay on for less than one run

It’s a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist.

I've been running them. The inners come off pretty easily, but this I rectified this by using small zipties on the axle, just pushed up against the edge of the boot, giving it nowhere to go. They're packed with thick, red mobil-1 grease. If anything, they've eliminated the metal-on-metal drivetrain squeaking. I haven't taken them off since installing them to see if there's any noticeable decrease in dogbone\cup wear.

I use it and install with a zip tie in the axle.
