I'll take 50 year old rubber over the crap that is sold today. How many new but cracked tie rod end or balljoint boots have you seen lately? All of them! I installed a set of tie rod ends on my Sprite last year and the boots are already cracked. When I called Moss Motors to get them warrantied, I told the guy that the steering rack boots on the car are original and still in great shape, but the new tie rod end boots only lasted a year. WTF? This is the new normal. 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I switch my boots out to urethane almost immediately. All of the boots on both my Datsuns melted away from the petroleum based grease. 3 Quote Link to comment

This is the new normal. I totally agree. Plus the figment is just perfect. Oh well since none for sale I will make it my quest to buy everything just to hoard and pay stupid money so it will be out priced.. This is going to be fun 3 Quote Link to comment
