Yeah, I know, I got lazy with the original ones being no maintenance,,,lol.
    Actually Merlin mentioned that brand for the lower ball joint when we were discussing these, he said they'd be les$, but I decided to just go with the OEM, one stop shopping, done, no worrying about right part or fit etc?.

    Here's a weird question I thought of?.my used lower ball joint rubber boot was starting to show signs of getting dried out - so that means my other side is no doubt doing the same, and some day they're gong to split I presume.
    Could you spray some FLEXSEAL ("rubber in a can") on the boot to add some life? or would it get too hot to handle that? or some other problem?

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
