I have torn down my frt end and all the ball joints are good and tight . What I want to know is where can I get new dust boots for the ball joints ? I hate to spend alot on new joints when these are not bad . The Po had put drop spindles on it must have cut the boots .

It was probably taken apart with one of those "pickle-fork" tools. That is one of the fastest ways to kill them.

Have you tried a NAPA store? You can usually buy them seperately.
