    Source for ball joint boots please?

    I've been searching all the usual suspects for just the boots, but no luck! Am I using the wrong search term? My joints are fine, and fairly new, but I've torn some boots in the disassemble/reassemble process.

    This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

          I got mine, and the ones for the tie rods, from www.bmpdesign.com

          They're stout poly dust boots, I've been able to reuse them once so far.

            the problem with the BMP ones is they don't really seal. They do work okay and I've had a set before, but dirt can still get in there.

                Those are the bmp ones, I knew I saw them at a local parts store, just didn't know which one.

                      A buddy of mine gave me a pair of control arms with only 26k on them, but he tore the rubber boots taking them off and replaced them with the BMP Design poly boots. You're right nando, they just don't seal well. If anyone has a tip on correcting this let us know.
