Can this be fixed?
Noticed this problem today; the boot is half missing on this joint.
Can this be fixed or does the whole rod have to be replaced? If so what does one of those cost? The joint is still nice and tight so I'd like to just sick another boot on there if possible.

I saw the other day that Advance caries tie rod end rubber boots. If it is in good shape and not worn you can get a new boot and put it on there. I have the same problem I just kept it greased for now but when I saw that I had a brainstorm.

Glad it worked. It is great that now you can just buy the boot huh? I believe it is time for me to get a set of boots myself.
