tie rod end boots

[toledo240]

Ok, i need to replace my tie rod end boots, since i accidently cut through not one, but both when i was cutting my dust sheild off.The tie rods dont look that bad at all and i dont think i need to replace them. Now i was looking at the boots and how do you get them off? It doesnt look like it will just pop off? Also napa, nissan dealership and all autoshops dont have the boot by itself around here, They say the boot is on the tie rod already. But wtf i hear people replacing all over the forums. Anyways Should I go ahead and get tein tie rods, do they come with boots by any chance? What am i going to expect with them?

Get some OEM replacement tie rod ends from a place like you mentioned.. napa for instance... and call it good. Chances are the old tie rod ends aren't perfect, so now's as good a time as any to swap em out.

The Teins are nice, but unless you need them (ie lots of drifitng/autoxing) then just go to Napa and get Moog ends. The Tein units have just stock replacement outer ends and 33% stronger inner ends. I have em, and for the $$$, they are worth it.

Agreed about the Teins... I have put them to the test. check out page 3 of my car domain to see...
