Tie rod grease cups made in USA?

[8door]

I bought a set of new tie rods included the grease cups, about two years
ago and just now went to install them and the rubber cups are split.
Made in China .
Anyone know of a maker of just the cups made in USA ?
All I can find are Chinese made repros from Napa, O'Rielly, Dorman etc.

Don't know of any good quality rubber ones but you can get polyurethane ones from Energy Suspension. Tie rod end boots part number 9.13119G contain two boots, about $4 bucks. Ball joint boots part number 9.13126G contains two upper and two lower boots, about $9 bucks.

Good tip I fund them at Summit and I'll look more around here.
That's about the same price for the so called rubber ones that split.

Lee - Do you know if the energy suspension ball joint boots you mention fit '67 thru '72? I need lower boots for my '68 (same as 8door) and noticed you've got a '72. I know there's some difference in the ball joints but wasn't sure if was enough to make the boot a different part number.

I'm running these tie-rod & ball joint boots on my 72 C10, my 65 Vette, and my 75 Vette. About two weeks ago I installed them on my friends 69 Camaro.

I have a '71 gmc c15.
Went to AutoZone and part number they pulled up for tie rod end boots was 9.13120G (BLACK) DEMINSIONS - 1 5/8" top, .65" Taper. Is that correct part. I meausred my removed boot and that was exactly the same. Fairly sure the boot is not stock, rods were replaced and I tore one while using a pickle fork.

I think Energy suspension has generic polyurethane ones that work. I had put some Moog parts on one of my trucks and replaced the stock boots every year. Moog sent me new stuff but it faithfully fell off every year. Sad.

^Sad to here about moog. There suppose to be USA made. But I've never had the same issue as you with moog. 8 years on some. Still strong
