Tie rod end boots
I couldn't find a part number in PET or 928 Specialists site. Both of my boots are split, but the tierods are fine. Are the tie rod end boots available sperately? What is involved in replacing them?

So you want just the boots around the ball studs? Those won't have P/Ns. I know 928I sells them for the upper ball joint. Might make some calls.

The lowed ball joint boots are available at the Audi dealer. I bought 2, 4 years ago. I can't recall the part number at the moment, but if you do a search on here you'll find it. They are an Audi part. I beleive it's a Audi 5000S part. As far as I know Porsche didn't sell it. Also,the uppers boots are different from the lower.

Boots are available seperately. Maybe $25 each or so. I got from 928Int'l IIRC. Requires loosening lock nut and tierod end. Count threads to maintain alignment. Unscrew completely from control arm. Side boot off the free end. Reverse process. It's a tight fit of rubber boot over rack. Each takes about 30 minutes. Your results may vary. Probably should align front end.
