Torn Grease Seal - Outer tie rod

[blankster]

When I was rotating my tires I noticed that the grease seal on one of the outer tie rods was torn spewing grease very close to the rotor. Can the seal alone be replaced or does the tie rod end need to be replaced?

I am interested in this, too! Hopefully someone knows where the boots can be bought. My suspension is tight, but I hate to wonder about how much grease is beig held in there. I've been thinking about just changing 'em out, but if I can find the boots for a few dollars, I would go that route.

A bucks a buck these days!

I think http://www.VBandP.com(forum sponsor) has the replacements you need in polyurethane. I've not done this, but after looking at it, I can't believe this is too difficult.

I just recently changed my ball joint boots to polyurethane ones from Energy Suspension. They make the tie rod boots too #9-13101G.
