It was a NOS set. The rubber had degraded so much that they split as soon as I put them on. Unfortunately there are no old ones to be had. The old joints were nekkid.

Kurt,

Were the joints new?

I bought a new set last year, that cracked and promptly fell from the car after install.

I ended up re-using the old rubbers wiht the new joints. The new rubbers were awefully hard.
