Default Heim seal covers?

Has anyone used these?

I am thinking of using some, also I wonder if they would dampen the clinking noise of the heim joints.

been using 'em on circle track cars around here for at least 10 years...great for life expectancy of the hiems as the rubbers hold grease in and dirt out with some efficiency, obviously a hugh improvement over ''bare naked''...will not do much to reduce noise.

I found that the same company makes a boot as well:

I should put one or the other on soon.
