Rotten front suspension rubber boots
My 16 year old son is ripping apart the Rebel T3, so I can drag the, mostly stripped, broken and cracked frame in somewhere to get the POS welded up.
Noticed today while I was giving him pointers that the ball joint and tie rod end boots are totally rotten. Has anyone replaced these yet, with hopefully a namebrand part? |

I haven't had to replace any yet, although I did pack them with grease in the beginning, and I sprayed the outside with silicone spray. They've lasted well.
