Tie rod boot availability
The dealer has my car and states the tie rod end boost are torn. They state they can only get the boots along with new tie rod ends. That's $320. Does anyone know where I can get the boots seperate?

My catalog list a boot kit seperate. As long as we are talking about the boots covering your inner tie rod ends. The GM part# is 21011025. They list out for about $50 for the kit. Even if you needed the whole tie rod they are only $100 for the inners each and $115 for the outers each. I work in parts so if you need them send me a PM and I can hook you up!!!

My dealer is telling me that the tie rod ends "are not serviceable items" and must be replaced - when all I think I need are the boots to hold the grease in.
Maybe replacement with the Moog ones would be a good investment...Forum vendors that sell these?

VBP sells the tie rods ends for maybe 40 bucks I forgot. I put play in the stock ones after 3 track days. The Moogs lasted a season which is 20-25 days. I need to check them for this year. Also wrap them to protect from heat of rotors.
