Torn Ball Joint Boots/ Will these FIT?

[DSM_ThuNDeR]

Hey guys, when I took out the axels out of my car, I ended up damaging the boots in both sides and both arms(lower compression arm, and the lower ball joint arm... "the straight one")... Which leads me to this question..

Are there any differences on the FWD, N/T, AWD cars in those arms? Or can I just replace the boots alone?

Whenever i have problems with boots on anything i just go ahead and change out the whole thing. Check the parts store and ask them if it's the same part number i would imagine it would be the same stuff.

Thanks, did you call the parts store, i'm curious if they are the same myself.

Are you talking about replacing the axle boots or ball joint boots. Just leave the ball joint boots if they are broken. They dont matter anyway.

I'm talking about the ball joint boots... The dealer won't do the recall on my car because its a salvage car!!! I seen some cars get into kind of heavy accidents because of the lateral ball joint.... i don't know about that one. I'm better off replacing them
