Looks like I tore the boot on a brand new ball joint. The sad part is I was replacing another BJ that was still good but had a torn boot. I think that I may have done the damage when removing/installing the lower 4 bolts with a rachet that was rubbing on the boot. Still it seems like torn boots on ball joints is all to common. Did a little EBAY search and found some MOOG BJ's called problem solvers with a grease fitting and a different boot. Anyone tried these yet?
