Ball joint and Tie rod boot questions...
I just purchased a new set of ball joints for the FC and also looking to purchase a new set of tie rod ends because the boots are cracked on both. I got to thinking my energy susp master kit has new boots for these included. Should I go ahead and take the boots off the new ones and repack with my good shaeffers ultra red high temp high pressure grease? And then put on the energy susp boots? Considering the grease they put in them from the manfu. is probably pretty cheap and the energy boots are probably better than the stock boots? OR would you just leave it alone and go with it until these boots give out? Thanks

strike up the paean
edit: sorry i misread
there's nothing special about the es tie rod end boots
i'm sure whatever grease is in there already is fine
imo just leave them alone

Theres absolutely no way for them to stay in position on the ball joint they just slide over the top and the bottom doesn't have a lip or anything. Like there supposed to stay there and not push any of the grease out when they move around. Bullshit.

they are supposed to attach themselves at the top via a real tight fit
there's also supposed to be a lip inside that keeps the grease in

if you're using non-oem tie rods, its possible the diameter on the tie rod end is not the same as oem, causing your issue
