What to do with the hole after you spray WD40? should it be closed somehow?

I did not close the hole.

Good question though. But seems to be fine.

no real need to close up the hole. it's tiny. since this is a dust boot & not a grease boot, leaving it alone is fine.

It worked like a charm for me. Thanks guys/gals.

Oh, I did the drivers side (thought the noise was coming from there) and itturns out it was the passenger side. Did both.

I'd find a way to close or tape the hole well. The boot is there (sealed) for a reason. One speck of sand is all it needs to start the problems.
