Re: ball joint dust boots

Ebay, summit racing. I know here places like AutoZone and Orielly's have them. Not sure what you folks have up yonder.

Re: ball joint dust boots

toss the pickle fork in the scrap metal bin .

get a 3-4 lb mini sludge hammer .

wack the knuckle were the ball joint or tie rod goes in a few times and them POP apart without destroying the boot's .

also leave the nut on a few full threads to keep stuff from flying apart .

and as said those parts places should have boot kits from places like energy suspension .
