Replacing dust boots?
97 4.2L V6 55k miles, reg cab, long bed
Dust boots deteriorated from age and cracked on all pivot joints.
Tie rod was removed from steering knuckle and inspected. Surprisingly, pivot joints were tight and holding the weight of the tie rod (no sagging).
I am considering replacing just the dust boots. Has anyone done this with success? Did the pivot joints last with non-oem dust boot?
