Default Torn grease boots
Hey guys,

Ever since I bought my truck, the grease boots on the front end have been torn up and don't hold any grease at all. I just throw some grease in the joints from time to time, but I'm wondering if there's a fix for the problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff

The joints don't seem to be bad, so I was hoping there was an easy fix. LOL at the duct tape!

Mine's just a two-wheeler . . .

I'll check on those replacement boots. Thanks for the heads-up on 'em.
