Re: Balljoint boot usually rip w/ strut replacement? Posted by JimBlake [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Balljoint boot usually rip w/ strut replacement?, PeterH, Wed, 16 Feb 2005 05:02:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It depends on your tools. If you use a 'pickle-fork' to separate the ball joints, that usually tears up the boot. If you use a tool that pushes the stud out from the knuckle, then you'll be OK.
I've bought replacement balljoint boots for our Hondas, but I haven't had to for the Saabs. If you can buy a replacement boot, go for it. If that boot is ALREADY torn (while driving around), then the ball joint itself probably has dirt in it & it's already damaged.
