Has anyone come up with replacement numbers for the boots on the upper and lower ball joints, have fairly new ball joints but the boots seem to rot away quicker than CV boots. I saw energy suspension and other manufacturers have various sizes for replacement but lots of different measurements available. So if anybody has been there done this I'd be very appreciative for some direction. looked in parts interchange guide and only found the whole ball joint number.
Thanks
Skip Hartline

Skip, I had to replace a lower ball joint boot on Jim Anstett's 23 footer.
This was the number L. Coldren came up with from his research.

Thanks, Andrew, I found a True Value Hardware in nearby Silverton, I had
forgotten about it even though I have been there in the past. There are only
about three TVH stores in the city, several more in the surrounding states
of Kentucky and Indiana. There is a really good one in Davenport, IA - K&K
True Value; I used to go there every time I was in the area.
