i just put in a new lower ball joint, and I happened to cut the grease pack boot while i was pressing it in. The grease isn't oozing out or anything, not yet atleast. I know once i torque down the rod, it will squeeze it out.

can i seal the cut? is that easy to do. or is it better to just replace the boot?

 

boots are $3 to replace. just replace it. i dont think any adhesive is going to take well to the grease already in there. not worth trying.

 

from where? the dealer? autozone has boots, but they are special order.

 

yeah (online) dealer. only place i buy parts anyway.

 

oh well...

i wasn't able to find a replacement boot. I ended using a univeral boot, but wasn't able to get a snap ring in to hold it. I just left it covering the joint. Do you think that will be ok?

Where do you shop from, online that is?
