Boots for tie rod ends

[911 Rod]

Does anyone know if you can buy boots for turbo tie rod ends?
One of mine is ripped.

Not that I am aware of. However, if this has gone unattended you will certainly do better to just R&R your current pair (both sides).

Perform a search and query the group about good vs. bad rubber on different tie rod ends from our available vendors. Some are good, some not so much and you will be where you are today in short order.

Not quite sure what you are referring to. Replace the tie rods?

I think the boots ripped because the car spends too much time in the air.

You can get boots at a local auto parts store just take the old one with you. But I would change your tie rods because it looks like there’s dirt in there.

ball joints. Replace them, they're easy to do and cheap. Buy the special tool to wrench it off.

Ha! Sorry for the confusion. Basically it looks like they are contaminated, so replace, and the rubber used for certain suspension components (beyond just the item you need) can be pretty divergent. Some vendors use more plastic and thus the rubber is less elastic, more brittle, and tends to team earlier than others.

Robert. Why would I replace ball joints? lol

I contacted the manufacturer and they are sending me a new set under warranty.

I'll update when I receive them.
