What's the effect of not installing torsion bar grease boots?

So my Dakota never had boots from Detroit. If I ever do front end work, I will put some on. My Dakota runs on PA roads that PennDOT uses road salt and brine.
I redid the front end on both my Cudas. I used the new style boots. They’re a little tricky to get on but well worth it.
So, my advice is cut a boot to fit on until you can put the appropriate boot on. After all they have split boots for your CV joint and your torsion bars are barely moving.
