Noticed my upper ball joint boot was cracked and has grease leaking from it, i immediatley checked for play in the joint & found none. Ill be ordering some 4.5's this thursday but will it be alright to drive around untill they come in? I put some fresh grease on the BJ hopin it can last at least 2 weeks... Any input?

Not saying this safe or anything, but i had the same thing on a tacoma abd drive a long time without anything happening. I wouldn't jump on freeway or anything. Your call though, because it can be disasterous if it breaks. :grim:

You will be just fine especially if you have no movement in it yet. I have driven on my orginal UBJ for about a month and a half with it worn out before i even figured it out.
