Steering Arm Boot?

WSUTARD · Apr 7, 2017

Is there supposed to be a boot on the steering arm ball joint? I don't remember taking one off.

Is that called the pitman arm?

Yes... You can buy Individual/universal boots from your local auto parts store.

Sounds good. I actually have a boot that fits over the area but it doesn't "lock" in. I'm guessing the pressure will keep it on?

Yes it will. The universal ones you get at the parts store don't lock on either.

Sometimes they just have a thick felt washer instead of a rubber boot.

I usually buy the Dorman assortment package that looks like the picture below.
