Replacement Ball Joint Boots Part #'s

[TheBigRedOne]

Does anyone know where to get replacement ball joint boots and what the part numbers are? The uppers on my '97 are split. I saw some in the HELP section but they either look way too big or too small.

I was looking for these too. I could not find any balljoint boots but I did find tierod end boots that work real well. You can go to my thread and look at post 94 for pics.(page 4 i think) http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=73911&page=4

Are those the HELP brand boots? I saw those at the store but I thought they would be too big. If they work I will get those.

I got them at NAPA I don't think they where HELPs. I think they where in clear plastic on a yellow/blue cardboard?

I need one for my P/S upper ball joint too. I'm going by Auto Zone after work today to see if I can find something that will work. I don't want to have to buy another UCA if I can help it.

I have used these and where the best fit I could find. I do have TRW uppers so I don't know exact fit on stockers but can't see them being that different. I'm pretty sure I checked HELP's and could not find what I needed but the stores I go to just might of not had them. I found these at NAPA for 5.39 each. They are sold as TIE ROD BOOTS.

Not sure what brand they are, but mine are not stock since they have grease fittings. I will check out NAPA for those boots.

advice/clarification on UCA/Ball Joints

I need one for my P/S upper ball joint too. I'm going by Auto Zone after work today to see if I can find something that will work. I don't want to have to buy another UCA if I can help it.

I have rotted boots on my stock upper control arms (UCA's). No xerk grease fitting either. Should I replace the UCA's? I have also purchased AVS-16/17 Motorcraft air shocks (not struts!!) for my front SLA suspension system. No coil conversion for me! Money is and isn't an object, but I want to be efficient with it! Not stupid and replace something that does not need to be replaced. Of course then there is peace of mind too?

Does TRW=Moog=Dorman=Raybestos= Autozone = NAPA ...:Chinese

Ok help me out guys! I have read enough threads on this to make my eyes fall out! Thanks!

It was a little tight fit, but it worked fine. Saved having to replace the UCA.
