Quote: the entire front suspension is disassembled. The ball joints and tie rod ends are in great shape, but the boots are trashed.
Because you used a pickle fork to separate them.
Just say NO to pickle forks.
Really? YOU were in MY garage to see how I pulled it all apart? YOU think that in 40 years, I am the only one to have ever laid hands on this car? The boots were damaged before disassembly. Thanks for offering nothing positive here.
