Thanks to all for all help, you to Waltham41. I checked with the guys and they said they did all the above mentioned items. My son said to relay that his Dad will take the core apart and find out what exactly was the cause of the failure. The boots were not damaged so that was not the cause. He asked if you know the process of aligning the motor because our motor mounts don't allow movement in order to align them in any other way.

We have a total of eleven cars and the boys maintain all of them. I admit the cars are in different stages of repair and maintenance, but my husbands 82 audi (original owner) has over 400,000 miles and His A4 Audi has 227,000 and they both are running. Audi's are their main passion and my Dodge and my daughters Tribute are kept up because, of course, the ladies need transportation that doesn't break down.
