Thanx to all who e-mailed me off-list concerning my tie-rod boots. Great advice that works! It seems, however, that I'm stuck again. When I try to re-attach the arms, I start to turn the nut, and the whole ball-joint bolt starts to turn with it inside the boot and won't tighten down. I don't see any way to hold it in place while the nut is being installed. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
