Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / January 2007Grease boot
One of my Grease boots was busted by debris and my mechanic tells me that the only thing he can do is replace the tie rods to fix it. Is he right? Pretty expensive for a busted rubber. No pun intended!! -- > One of my Grease boots was busted by debris and my mechanic tells me > that the only thing he can do is replace the tie rods to fix it. Is > he right? Pretty expensive for a busted rubber. No pun intended!! If it's a small hole you could try using a bycicle inner-tube patch. The hardest part would be getting all of the grease off of the repair area. If it doesn't work you are only out $2 and a little time.

I've tried repairing and patching boots. Never worked for me. Although I've heard of people doing it with good results. Probably worth a shot. OTOH, I would take a close look at the boot and tie rod assembly. You can usually replace the boot without replacing the rod end.
