Is there anyway to replace the boot on the jba aarms? My boots both busted all the way around the ball joint after some brutal driving. Is this normal? I haven't heard of it but am not surprised with the driving I was doing. I am about to order some new replacements from jba.

Edit: Just saw on their website about the warranty they have on the arms I will be calling them tomorrow

Not normal
What kind of "driving" were you doing that tore up the ball joints ?
So you think they should replace them for you?

Cherrie,

True, however, if you purchase a new replaceable ball joint, it will have the boot on it.

To answer the OP, do you think Marlin should replace them when you are admitting to doing "brutal" driving and "trying to catch air"?

Just asking .... sorry

Sorry for the late reply I wasn't in for awhile. I called and they asked for me to send pictures of my torn boots and they were going to send me new ones. They did I fact check when I ordered the arms and it was within one year.
