Tie Rod End Dust Boot Solution

[afeustel]

For those who have torn tie rod end dust boots (but a good tie rod), I found a decent source for replacement:

P33-111 Tie Rod Boot Repair Kit $10.99 ea.

Shipping to Houston was $7.99 for a total of about $29 for 2, which I thought was a pretty good deal.

These are a great product and look just about perfect (as long as you can get over the fact that they are for a Benz).

Those are 14.99 new for the boot and ball joint. Entire tie rod end.

Looks to me like it's the other end he did, for which you would have to buy the complete tie rod. I did the same thing.

Great Luis- now I'm going to feel dumb for the rest of the weekend....

Come on Don...it's not rocket science...

 

[afeustel]

though in your defense...I did not show enough of the rod to indicate which end I was talking about.

Drew,

I have three Plineys left if you make it out this way! Of course I will need some time to clear out all of the empty wine bottles that Don has left first.
