CV Boot Out of Shape

[TakeORF]

I noticed one of my CV Boots looked out of shape when I was washing the 4Runner this morning.

My driver's side looked normal:

And my passenger side looked like this:

I did not see any grease around it and it still looked like it was tight around the clamps. I tried to shape it back, but it wouldn't go back to normal. Has anyone else experienced this? I guess as long as it doesn't start throwing out grease, it should be OK?

It looks like one of the clamps that hold the boot on may have come loose and torqued the boot. Are you getting any "popping". I like the idea of not messing with it if there are no leaks. You might get it to look correct, but cause a leak in the process.

I think I'm going to take it back to the shop that installed them tomorrow. Hard to believe by the looks of them that they are less than two months old. Installed on 12/26/12

Was it normal when you added the lift?
Edit-you posted right before me.

It almost looks like they have vacuum pressure like suction and clolapsing.
