Aftermarket source for Tie rod Boot MX5100 ?

[kenmac]

Well LD1, I replaced one of mine today ,and screwed up the boot on the tie rod it's self trying to get broke loose.
I'm not buying a new tie rod end until I have to. About 82.00 for that bad boy

I don't pop that joint apart.

Just unthread it where you adjust toe and slip new boot over. No need to pop that 90 degrees joint out of the spindle, and no risk of damaging

Good to know for next time. I didn't know the end would turn

..... Would be nice to find something like a $5 napa boot that will work. Or better yet....a tougher urethane boot from some source......

Actually Napa Auto Parts does have a "universal" tie-rod boot kit that comes with two different size thick rubber boots which you can easily cut shorter if needed.

So does Rock Auto:

No provision for snaprings. These boots seal on each end with a snapring.

Just a thought for ya - On ATV's we use stainless steel zip ties to seal boots fairly frequently. If you pull them tight with pliers they latch down rather well.

Hey, if you want one with snap ring grooves which accepts a Kubota snaprings at both ends, you may want to stick with OEM boots.

Don't have to be exact Oem snap rings. But does have to have snaprings.

Automotive style...90degree joints.....the boot is contained on both ends but no need for rings.

This is an inline joint.

Lots have linked nice urethane joints exactly like I want.....just can't find any 17mm x 43mm
