Default when installing hyperflex bushing kit...

does anyone install the ball joint covers?
the ball joints that are in my 85 have a rubber dust boot that is built into the balljoint, not removable without cutting it off.
what are you guys doing with this?

Can't help here. I couldn't see the point in going through all the work of pulling my control arms to replace the bushings and not replace the ball joints. Your not going to have a opportune time to replace the balljoints.

Ahhh, I understand. Well I really couldn't see the boots needing replacement so I wouldn't worry about it.
