Pulling the front control arms to replace the bushings and ball joints, and found the boots of the drop links are shot. Looking at the parts book, it doesn't appear replacement boots are part of the plan. Anyone have a source for these boots?
The links take a beating and if the boots are shot the nylon sockets and rubber bushings are probably not far behind. They're not expensive, I'd just replace both links and bushings and enjoy the crisper cornering.
good call on ebay (ordered a different size)....found some boots that should do the job. I'll let you know how the fitment goes. Is this a great place or what?

Agreed. Surely if you're replacing everything else............ and the boots are split, you'd have to call the links a worn out wear part and replace them too.

You're welcome Marc.
In the link I provided, I was not suggesting that was the size you needed. Only to get you to the eBay listing where you could purchase the correct size for your application.
Happy it worked out for you.

...and here's what the replacement boots look like. As you can see, I haven't figured out how to get the retaining ring on yet, but fitment seems pretty good.
the size I ordered was 17x33x26mm from ebay/polyboots.com (no affiliation).
any suggestions for getting the ring on?

I used ties. Both ties need to be no wider than 2mm, They fit nicely into the groove. Note these are droplinks on a 964.
