Prothane Polyurethane Universal Dust Boots
Many of you are finding out that the rubber boot on your ball joint or tie rod has rotted away or has split. These boots are extremely important for the suspension of your vehicle. Fortunately, Prothane makes Universal Dust boots that will fit most vehicles. These dust boots are made of polyurethane and are far more durable than rubber. This will seal your boot to retain the grease in the joint, as well as protecting the joint from dirt, sand, water, and snow.
How-to obtain measurements
In order to select the proper boot, you will first need to grab a few measurements. The best way to do this is with a set of digital calipers. You will need to measure the diameter of the base where the boot will sit, the diameter of the shaft (also called the Pin Opening Diameter) and the height of the boot. Once you have gotten to your tie rod end measure these three spots. Be sure to be as exact as possible and to write down your measurements. If you have any trouble getting these measurements, give our customer service team at DST a call. It is important to note that you do not want to choose a boot that is bigger than your measurements. You want to choose a boot that is just slightly smaller than the measurements you obtained. The elasticity of the polyurethane will allow the hole to stretch and grip the joint tightly. If you choose a boot that is too large there will be a gap which lets in debris.
After Measureing Your Dust Boots
Now that you have these measurements, you can verify that this is the boot that you need. If you find that your measurements do not match this boot, go to our Universal Dust Boot page to match a part to your measurements.

Prothane 191820
starstarstarstarstar" Larger size fits on 70s Dodge trucks and vans! "
When rebuilding the suspension on my 74 Dodge van, I tore one of the boots on my new ball joints. Thankfully the bigger boots in this kit fit almost perfectly on the lower ball joints. For a perfect fit, I carefully trimmed approx 1/4" off the bottom with an Xacto knife.\n\nThe Prothane boots are about 3x thicker than the OEM boots and were significantly tougher to cut, even with a very sharp Xacto blade. If you are like me and you break things just by looking at them, these boots are for you.\n\nMeasure your existing ball joints first so you get the right boots!\n

This box came with two different sizes. The shorter two in height of the four fit the Moog upper ball joints very well in 97 Ford F150 RWD. The only thing is the height could have been 1/4" shorter to stop from mashing them down as much as they did. Hold grease very well. Time will tell if they last. They are much better than the flimsy stock Moog rubber grease boots that didnt last 30,000 miles. I called Moog to get the boot height, but I didnt consider Moog"s boots are like an accordion and stretch out to hold grease. They told me 1 1/2" height but I could have used 1 1/4" height boots. I highly recommend this product.
