Tie rod end boots

[russiankid]

I have the MOOG tie rod ends, and the boots that came with it ripped. So i replaced them but i cannot find any boots that are the proper size. Anyone else have this problem? I need to find boots that fit properly without cracking. Any ideas where i can get some?

Yeah, the bellows that come with the remans are crap. Just get honda ones 2 X #7:

heres something ralated to the topic. i just bought 2 new tie rod ends for my car, and they arent the typical screw in and go type. i gotta put the boot on, and the grease nipples and fill them with grease. the problem is, they dont come with a single circlip or anything to tie them on. is the tightness of the boot on the tie rod end enough to keep the grease in?

That's how mine is, but when the boots crack replace them. This is why i am looking for the correct boots so they don't crack. If they crack, you can get dirt in there and destroy the ball joint.

I am not looking for the bellow for the inner ball joint, i need the dust boots for the tie rod ends.

I may order those. I want to see what Messy post's first since the MOOGS are kind of big.

Sorry, I misread. For the end boots, Energy Suspension # 9.13103 is the correct size for both the tie rod boots and the upper ball joint. Kit # 16.13101 includes the 2 tie rod/upper ball joint boots from 9.13103 and has the lower ball joint boots, which also fit our cars. I have purchased both of the kits. They fit, but they will not stay on for the full range of motion. They are about 3 times as thick as the originals and aren't very flexible. They don't come with a groove for the boot clip and won't stay on even if you cut one. There has to be something else out there, here are the other vehicles that these boots were used on:

53546-SH0-A01 BOOT, TIE ROD END
82 - 97 Accord, 97 CR-V, 84 - 91 CRX, 80 - 97 Civic, 93 - 97 DEL SOL, 00 - 06 Insight, 95 - 98 Odyssey, 80 - 01 Prelude
