That's an interesting thought. However, the boot on the outer joint is
likely not affected by engine movement as it's the inner end which is
designed to compensate for any changes in the length of the axle as the
suspension travels up and down. The outer boots have a much higher failure
rate than the inner boots due to the extra stress from turning the wheels
during normal steering.
