Tie Rod Dust Boot Q's

[bobafett]

where can I find the dust boots for tie rods? mine are torn to shreds. nissan wanted like $60 for these, and they are special order so i wouldnt get them right away. the local parts store have generic 1/2 or 9/16 tie rod boots, but i am not sure if they will work.

who has replaced these, and what did you end up using?

i have tein tie rods and ends to install, and i dont want to wreck them by using a bad boot. any suggestions people?

also i did a search and people were mentioning inner and outer boots as well. im pretty sure i only have inner boots, but the bushing on the outer tie rod itself CAME with a boot around it. just the tiny one that faces up and down...

I bought mine from the dealership...no special order, they only cost me $12 or 15 (can't remember exactly) a piece

think you could dig up a part number? the only dealership in the area seems to be a bastard, and they wanted lots of money and for me to wait a long ass time! ;) if not, no big deal i can alway try bugging them again.

Someone told me the tie rod boots for s14s are the same as s13s. Not sure what you've got. But at 4 dollars each, this is the cheapest i've seen.

thanks a lot guys, it sounds like my easiest way to find them will be to hound the local parts stores... ;) although they didnt cooperate at first...although if not i have some nissan P/N's thanks!!

btw i have an s13 sorry i didnt mention it!
