If the boots are gone , chances are the joint is contaminated, sooner or later they will fail, be safe and replace the entire arm. |

the right thing? Nope. I looked through the whole site, and I didn't see any either. Found replacement LBJ's and the rear BJ for the 3 link but no boots. Spent about a half hour trying to cross reference the BJ's to another vehicle and haven't been able to find any either. |

UCA's are Expen$$$ive. Just change the boot like I did. I have 1 year on the new boot already and no problems. Save the expense for later. I got my boot from a junk yard. I bought a used UCA for $30 and took the boot off. Other after-market companies do provide boots but I didn't go that way because I was in a hurry. Good luck. |

i had to flush sand out of my upper ball joint, so the joint is contaminated, and since it isn't greasable, i don't want to run the chance of a ubj failure like a few around here have had yes uca's are expensive but it's worth the insurance to know that you both have superior uca's and superior greasable ball joints - as long as they hold till august i'm getting new uca's |

When I replaced my uca's I bought from Lee Auto. Arms came with moog ball joints and really weren't as expensive as I expected them to be ( was ~$130 / arm ) |
