Re: Ball joint dust boot - is it on there?

I wouldn't glue it on.

The dust boots are not designed to be closed. When you grease up the joint the old grease will push out the edges.

I talked to customer service at MOOG about a pin hole in the boot of a new tie rod end, and was told the dust boots were just that....dust boots. He said a pin hole would be no problem as the boot only holds in the grease, but not under pressure. He just reminded me to grease the components regularly.
