Adjustable toe rod
 
Just got a pair of adjustable toe rods and optional rubber boots. Now I cannot figure out how to install these boots over ball joints... boot opening is too small to stretch over it... what is easy way to do?

Boxtard.. oh, those are a Pain to install.. what worked out for me on the past was to use soapy water with an ivory chopstick (you don't want to rip the boot) good luck!

Yep - definitely a PITA. In addition to soapy water you can also use a hair dryer to heat and soften the rubber boot.

Anyone grease these joints before putting the boots on?

RSS link
 
So I bought a pair of RSS links, and just realized that the threaded end is not interchangeable with the stock outer tie rod end... Is it by deign that RSS uses finer thread than OEM? Also is anyone make the adjustable rod that is compatible with the stock tie rod end?
