Happy Memorial Day all!
Does anyone know the part number for the Mevotech lower ball joint boot supplied with the kit? FFR sent me my back ordered LCA's and one of them had a slice in the boot. I contacted FFR and was told to put a dab of silicone on it and it would be fine. Against my better judgement I followed that advice and as you can probably assume after install I ended up with grease all over my floor because the silicone did not hold. I contacted FFR and was sent a new Mevotech ball joint. I asked for advice on removing and installing the retaining ring without causing damage to the new ball joint boot and was told to use a screw driver. As careful as I was I still put a pin hole in the new boot. Once again, grease all over the floor. I know the ball joints are only like $20 but I'd prefer to not spend the money on another complete ball joint that I do not need just to get the boot. And I can not seem to find the replacement boot anywhere. Any ideas or part numbers for boots that will work?
Thank you.
