The Boot is part of the  A-arm.  What suggestions are there for replacing the little, small, cheap, rubber boot.  Not the large, expensive A-arm???  I want to make sure dirt doe's not destroy the ball joint.

Thanks

Energy Suspension makes ball joint boots - I'm not going to tell you they make one specifically for whatever it is you're driving, but it's a place to start.

Great I think that'll work.  Just gotta measure and check the parts store 

I'll try and follow up with how it go's.
I'm little concerned about how it'll attach, since the factory boot is sealed or press into the control arm.  I'm sure I can fandangle something.

Suzuki Part :  Seal Set 45706-60A00.  (Also fits Gen1)

Hey my birthday's coming up....

I'll pull the controll arm and take it to the dealership to check on that seal set.
Thanks.

JayInBarrie; Have you pulled one of your A-arms and checked out the "seal deal" yet?

get that shit working for suzican!  my junk broke over the weekend but is fixed now..  front diff bracket.... pos.   what are you running for rear shocks?  i blew both my cavalier shocks and might try something different, they have good travel though...

For all the guys who go buy the EBAY or jobber lower control arms. Replace the boots with suzuki ones. My jobber control arm boot is cracked after 1 year.

I check out a couple of parts stores and nothing.  One guy even rumaged around and gave me a couple of boots off of spare parts.

Ended up buy the boot seal from the stealership.  Didn't take many pics, I'll try and get them up later.

The old boot has a wrap around spring that holds it on, you gotta really clean the base of the boot to see it there.
The new boot ($26 from the stealship) comes with a little grease pack and wire.  Instructions say not to use the old spring, but to wrapped the wire around twice and twist tight.  The instructions show the boot for the tie rod end.  Looks like the same boot.  The tie rod end boots would be EASY to pull at a yard if actually are the same boot.
