tie rod boot... replace just boot or tie rod also
do you ever get tired of just replacing everything on your car 1 part at a time?
94 civic dx 219,xxx. manual.
The boots are ancient and finally tore. I just changed the oil 2 weeks ago and rotated the tires. The boot wasn't torn then that i noticed, but i saw it today while doing some rust/bondo work. The grease inside was still clean so i dont think it has been exposed for long. I bandaged it up with a bike tire tube and zip ties to protect it for the time being until i get some free time and parts to do the repairs.
My question is, what is an approximate time to do the job, should i replace the tie rod as well and the ball joint, or just be lazy and do the boot only.
For anyone who has done the job, can you give a rough DIY?
