Are these sold separately? My tie rods are just fine except that the rubber boots have cracked ( or perished for the Brits on this board )

I'm real tempted to but some low line VW Golf tie rods just to use the boots if they are the same dimensions. Mercedes tie rod ends are about $30 for a decent brand, $ 7 for low line VW ends.

I'm having a difficult time finding front a arm bushings, are these sold separately? There are complete aftermarket arms available, but I'd be concerned about quality.


Thanks

There might be something here that fits - Tie Rod End Dust Boots - Energy Suspension - Chassis & Suspension - SummitRacing.com . Or here - http://www.trucksandcars.com/html/page_7.htm

Here we go - EPC shows 129 330 00 85 boot parts kit. Looks like the boot and nut. List is $12. See if Phil can do better. EPC shows a different part number, -01 85, for drag link boots.

Thanks for the boot numbers.

I searched the Fastlane parts section a few times before but it ends up hanging my computer part way through.

We'll blame the Pelican folks for that

After much prodding of the local dealer, I've been told the boots are no longer sold.

My next stop is to measure VW and other euro cars to find a replacement. ( I've got free run of a local scrap metal yard. ) The tie rod ends take a large boot with the drag / center link smaller ones. I'd really hate to replace the joints as the ones on the car are just fine except for the boots.
