Mushy ball joint boots...A SOLUTION!

I'm going to give them a shot. They do have one model which looks as though it should fit fairly well. The only thing I do not like is that they are red.
I may have to go with the geometric shaped black ones. If they turn out to look too hot roddish, I'll just go back to the OE stuff.

I just noticed that those are made by Energy Suspension. I used their stuff for the end links on my sway bar. They make a good product at a reasonable price.

Looks to me like each size is available in geometric or round and in either red or black, i.e. you can get black & round.

Too Late......

I was sick with a cold and my computer notified me with the emergency "RED ALERT" warning that sounds any time someone posts a picture of a red TR6 part.

I have now saved the file and will follow up tomorrow.

I have purchased Energy Suspension bushings too. I like the ability to buy bushings by size instead of by application. That way you can get a custom fit when you need. Mine are for my TR4 trackbars. I bought black though (sorry Paul).

Thank God for your web site. I was able to confirm that my red bushings pre-date your current obsession with engine bay red. I'm thinking that you went the red route after seeing my red bushings! Sorry Paul....... :driving:
