Ball joint boots on a 97 GTS

[AviP]

I've purchased the Howe ball joints for my 97 GTS but they come without the rubber boots. I understand the Howe boot 22399 might not be a good fit. Can anyone confirm? Or what are the alternatives. 2 of the 8 ball joint boots are toast and another 2 look like they would be toast in the coming years.

I only assume they will fit, but the OEM ball joint boots are of very high quality and priced attractively. They fit other models in the corporate lineup, so they are plentiful.

I was not able to figure out a part#. Are they different part numbers for upper and lower.

PN 52006404 Seal, Ball Joint. Same part upper/lower.

Anyone tried the energy suspension Red Polly ball joint boots?

[GTS Dean]

Yes, on the tie rod ends. If the ball joint boots are similar, they are junk compared to the OEM. Look at them side-by-side and you will understand.

Thanks GTS Dean. You're the best!
