Im replacing the rear axle in my 2021 can am outlander max xt 650. I've tried 2 different axles and I'm getting the same problem. The boot at the diff side pushes in and doesn't look right when I lower it from the jack. After returning the first axle I figured it was a defective I bought the allballs axle and the same problem is happening. It looks fine when jacket up but pushes boot in when lowered.

It's probably fine. The different look might be because the stock boot has more folds so it can handle the angle down better and not looks so stretched out on top and compressed on the bottom. The replacement axel boot might wear out quicker because it will be doing more flexing as it spins. At least that is what it looks like

Could be but I am guessing if the company says they are the same that they gave him a right. I wouldnt want that axle bottoming out in the cup on suspension compression and ruining bearing or diff. Just quit buying cheap China crap.
