I need new outer tie rod end dust covers/boots for a 2008 Z06. GM only sells them along with tie rod ends. The seals/covers I need are the black rubber "cup" for the outer tie rod end.

Mine are melted from heat at the track. I didn't wrap them prior to going to the track. I thought they'd last a day with street pads and tires but they didn't....

Anybody know an aftermarket or OEM source and part number? Would they be the same for a standard C6?

I got my replacements at Checkers and I think NAPA has them too?....the ones I got are the high temp red boots...

Hope this helps!

Me need also. Any online source? I melted tie rod boots, caliper slide boots, caliper piston boots, sheesh.

Does Poly have a higher temp rating? Has anyone tried these (with success) on a track car?

Thanks guys! I have the same problem.

You're probably aware but just in case, the slide boots and piston boots are a lost cause. They'll melt as quickly as you can put them on. The tie rod boots and control arm ball joint boots can be saved by wrapping with header wrap or using a heat shield/reflector.
