Dust Boots on Tie-rod ball joints

   / Dust Boots on Tie-rod ball joints #21  
The boots on the 8560 were cracked when bought and just gave up after a few years.
I debated taking everything loose to replace them but used a wheelbarrow tube laying around to make homemade dust boots.
They worked for fall planting and spring burn down but the tube broke in several places.
Got the black Gorilla tape and wrapped it loosely around the busted boot and secured each end with zip ties.
It looks rough but may hold for a few years till the tie rod ends need replacing.
I had some baling wire but the black zip ties matched the tape perfect!
