Anyone know what size the front tie rod end boots are? And are they all the same?


My truck came from the Southwest - the tie rod ends themselves are nice and tight, but the boots are crumbling. A sure inspection failure here in Maine.


Figured I would ask before I take one off and measure it.

IMHO don't waste your time replacing a tie rod boot.

Save up some $ and order a proper set of Lemforder tie rods from Lucky8. You'll be glad you did in the long run!

I don't see any reason to replace a perfectly good low miles tie rod end and pay for an alignment simply because the boot has been baked off. The joints are tight, clean, shiny, and well lubricated. Five minutes to pop them apart and stick a new boot on. One Maine winter with the current boots and I will need to replace them for sure though...
