So a few months ago I took my tubular lower control arms apart to have them blasted and recoated. However I forgot to measure the length of thread exposed on each rod end. Does anybody have a set kicking around they could take a quick measurment of so I can get the car back together. Also has anybody installed dust boots over their rod ends? I've been reading conflicting arguments for and against them. My car will never see anything but nice sunny dry roads so I'm thinking it shouldn't really matter for me either way. thanks in advance.
