good question..the life expantency of a axle after the boot rips is only 8 hrs. So after 8 hrs bearings begin to wear noises start to be heard. but this depending on how many sharp turns you make could go for quite some time. but if we had to put a limit on it it would be safe to say maybe 1 month..
