Upper A-arm rubber seals

I'm putting my front end back together and am about to install the cross shafts for the upper A-arms. The new rubber grease seals I got from LMC sure seem loose ... are they supposed to be that way? I would think they should fit real snug to hold the grease in.

I just chaned upper control arms and shafts and the boots were very tight(like thread them onto the shaft tight. By the way did yours have a step in size from one end to the other and if it does which way did it show to put it. Mine is a Moog part and it seemed to show the boot going on in a way that seemed backwards, so I used my own sense and put it with the small end toward the center of the shaft and the big end toward the arm/bushing.

I put mine on the same way but they are way loose.
I guess LMC strikes again.
Thanks for the info.
