I'm going to install some QA1 adjustable strut rods I've had sitting around. I like driving my car year-round, so I'm a little worried about road grit getting into the heim joints on these things and making them fail fast.

I've seen boots for heim joints, but not ones that look like they'd fit within the big round K-frame slugs these rods use.

Can I coat the joints in grease and clean/regrease periodically? Is there a larger CV-type accordion boot I might be able to use on the whole K-frame end?
