I mangled one taking the ball joints off, moog ball joints. I've been looking at http://www.suspension.com/universal-dust-boots.asp, and I can't find anything that matches. Does anyone know where to get these boots? I really don't want to buy a whole new ball joint just for a dust boot.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

These aren't the correct dimensions from what I can see. I looked at the Heidts website, and they don't even list Chrysler in the product list.

Have you checked the Dorman help section of the local parts store. They do have a selection of replacement boots and you might find what you need. I will give that a try, thanks!

Something I've experienced with Moog dust boots the last few years is they don't last anymore. Within a year they are cracking and falling apart. And this is on cars that get 2,000 miles a year at most. Might want to consider urethane if you can find.
Facts are stubborn things.

Would an original fit? Frank Baldason has some of those. Yes, I just found them. Like Mancini, $100 for the kit. Probably wouldn't be bad to have spares around. Going to be $50 for a new ball joint, maybe I'll do this.

Mickm,
I was rummaging through a cabinet in my garage today and came across a bag of dust boots. From what I can remember I think I pulled these off Moog parts and used the poly ones I bought as a kit. I have 4 ea of three different sizes. The small ones I'm pretty sure are tie rod ends. The middle size has "Mount Inboard" with an arrow and #7177 (openings 1.5" x 3/4" - just like the two top ones in the Roseville picture). The larger ones just have #7031 and have a small squared notch on the small opening (openings 1.75" x 3/4"). If you think one of these will work for you then I can drop them in the mail. Whoa! That's the one!!! I'll PM you!
