Hey Guys,
I have the front suspension disassembled on my 69 Dart. I'm looking for the best QUALITY boots that are out there for the tie rod ends, ball joints, pittman arm, and Idler arm. I have some that are way too thin, also some don't even fit the joints. I would like some as close to OEM or better as possible. Any suggestions?

The lack of readily available OEM type replacement boots helps keep front end shops honest.
If you search long enough I believe you'll find them.

Haha...That's a good point!...Why replace the old worn out part, when all you gotta do is charge for a brand new part and only replace the boot to make it look new...Some shops these days!! Geez!!
 
The front end parts came from Just Suspension about 3 years ago. I installed them and a couple of years later started a full resto. Between the sand blasting and disassembly their mostly trashed. They never did fit well anyway. Thanks for the link to Mancini, I like that kit, and I think I'll go that way.
Thanks again Dude

FWIW, I installed some tubular uppers that came with really poor fitting UBJ boots. I replaced them and tie rod boots (new rubber one split after a short time) with the poly ones from Energy Suspension. They fit really well and are super tough yet flexible. They're available in black. The BJ boots came from Mancini. Got the tie rod boots from my local Autozone.
