Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
Just like the title says. I need them for a 70 half ton 2WD. I did some searching on here and google but only came up with “high quality” ones from Bulgaria on eBay.

Should be available in the Dorman help section at your favorite parts store.

People have said that but their website does not show them for my application.

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
I only found tie rod boots for my truck. Do you have a part number for their ball joint boots?

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
I would take good used boots from old ball joints if someone had some that were good.

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
I found some yesterday afternoon. They are universal, but many different sizes are offered. I have not measured the ball joints yet to see what size I need. They are made by Prothane, here is a link to the site where I found them:

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
This is one of the reasons the search function is not helpful sometimes, because solutions are not posted. I have gleaned so much info from the members on this site, and I want to be able to help others as well. We are all in this hobby together so we should be helping each other out as much as we can.

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
So the boots fit the lower ball joints but not the uppers. So I bought NOS GM upper ball joints off eBay for $5 more than new Moog. So upper boots are not available for our trucks, at least prior to 1970.

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
I will be replacing all of my ball joints next week if you still need them. I should be done with the job before the end of the month.

Re: Where to buy ball joint dust boots?
Bill, thank you for the offer, I bought NOS GM uppers and the Prothane boots fit the lowers so I am covered.
