I read on a post of someone putting some tie rod end boots onto their spherical rod ended rear lcas. Didn't give any details though and now I cant find the post. Has anyone done this? basically it was to keep dirt and such out of the spherical joint to make it last a little longer. Instructions? Thanks.

Are you refering to these? http://www.sealsit.com/rodend.asp

Fortunately, they now sell directly so you don't have to order them from a race chassis or speed shop.

The Seals-It are a face seal style. Someone used to produce a boot that was more like a tie rod boot, but I can't find any information on it.

Hmm interesting.....never seen those before. And yes, i just read a brief post on one of the boards talking about cutting poly tie rod boots and using them over rod ends.....but these look like they would work a lot better.

back from the dead... anyone ever use these covers? Do they work? Do they have to be removed to relube the end and then put back on?

They work very well. What they are intended for is to keep out dirt/mud for things like off road racing applications. they are also good to keep out road salt in bad weather climate areas, etc. They are not intended to hold lube. A good quality rod end is teflon lined and will be self lubing. These are merely a protective cover.
