I tore the lower ball joint boot tonight with my pickle fork. I would just replace it but its in good shape. Does anyone make a replacment boot for them? Ive been beating this thing for 3 nights & it wouldnt budge so I dug out my fork out of the box. Ive never had much luck with that thing & new it was gonna happen.

I did get it loose BTW

I did the same thing once.

I just went to AutoZone, got their cheapest ball joint, which if I remember was just around $10, and just used the boot.

You can find the boots in the Help section. If its not on the shelf they can order for you. This is how I changed mine.

I got a boot today & it fits perfect. I also bought a new ball joint just in case the boot didnt work. I will just return it tomorrow now that I know the boot is good to go. If anyone needs one the "HELP" part # is 13564. Thanks for the help guys...corn
