Tie Rod End Dust Boots
Can anyone give me a specific part number and vendor for the dust boots that go over the tie rod ends on the front of C6? I've searched the forum and need more specifics. Energy Suspension sells them based on measurements and not for specific applications.
I want to have them in hand before I take the front suspension apart so I don't have to wait to put it back together.

I can tell out of experience that these fit perfectly, they will burn on the track though.

Do you know which Energy Suspension item number it was for your ball joint dust boots? I messed up the lower one on my 2008 C6. They only have universal and not model specific.

Just wrap them with DEI cool tape... they'll never burn again. I just got done swapping out my stock balljoint boots for these this weekend. Never used the tie-rod end piece, but I don't see why they wouldn't work. Been putting the cool tape on the lower balljoints and tie-rod ends of every vette I've ever tracked. Never had a burnt one. What's interesting is that the tape reflects enough heat to the point the zip-ties never melt or degrade. I don't bother covering the uppers anymore as the spindle acts as a sufficient heat shield. The tape is adhesive, but the zip tie is just in-case it comes unstuck.
