so i get the old boot off, and now im trying to get the new one on but it doesnt to be tall enough to go over the part where the little "spring clap" goes around and locks it into the tie rod... any suggestions ?

i searched and found nothing.

 

Bump with pic

 

Zip ties!!

Or not. Is there anything in the new one that will slip into that spot in the ball joint to hold it in place, or is it smooth all the way through the middle?

would prefer to not be "ghetto"

there is nothing in the boot that will hold it in place.

 

dont worry about it.....i put some one mine...the grease, and the pressure from the tie rod holding on keeps it together....

Stick with OEM tie-rod boots. I posted a link to a good price in your other thread.

 

yeh i found this


"Yeah, I have the (basically) whole master kit installed. Its great, especially because my old bushings were torn up. I dont reccomend installing the tie rod, and steering end boots. Just get new factory ones. They suck. All the other bushings are top quality though. Ryan"
