Wheres the best place for ball joint BOOTS
I really don't feel like replacing my ball joints that are in good shape anyhow (fairly new) but some of the boots are screwed. Is there any place to get boots that are a little nicer than those universal ones in the HELP section at the auto parts store?
TIA, Steve

A few months after I replaced my front end parts, the boots on the tie rod ends cracked/tore. After looking around, I had to settle on the boots from the HELP section. It's been a few months now, and last I checked, the boots still look good.

hmm... I may have to resort to that. I'd just get new balljoints, but for four of them is over 100 bucks.

Really? I never knew they made poly balljoint boots... That would be ideal, as I've got to order front bushings anyhow.
