Hey guys, I just got finished putting in new upper/lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and rack & pinion boots. Roads here are just horrific, and are chewing up my suspension and steering parts. Anyway, everything's great with it, steers well and doesn't vibrate or anything like that-but I'm more concerned with all of the rubber boots. The boots on my lower ball joints only lasted a few months before cracking and letting dirt in and the boots on my rack & pinion are only about 2 years old but they've long been cracked and leaking fluid (and what a pain they were to replace and refill let me tell you!). Is there anything I can coat these rubber boots with that will prevent the cracking from occurring? I do NOT want to do this work all over again! ----- Dani B. #5003 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
