LMTV Tie rod boot

[sargentwolf]

I've tried searching, either my google-foo skills are getting rusty in my old, kidney stone infected age, or this hasn't come up yet. Which I find very hard to believe.

My passenger side tie rod boot is ripped in several spots. Is there a drop-in replacement or someone that sells them? Going to wrap it up in silicon tape and attempt to reseal it for now.

Ill post a pic later today after I both take a pic and the pain-killer coma is over.

TIP: dont ever get kidney stones. they are a royal suck fest.

Was wondering the same thing my rubber boots are shot too.

So! Passed the 4mm stone.. but have 5 more total saved up....yayyyy...

Snagged a pic of the boot.



I can just remove the castle nut when it comes time to swap it out, right? No need to screw with adjusting the entire tie-rod?

I have thought about doing this on mine too. I wish more ball joints and TRE's came with polyurethane boots already installed.
