Can you fix a torn tie rod boot?
I accidentally put a slight tear in my tie rod end boot when removing the knuckle. Is there some way to fix the boot so that I don't have to replace the tie rod end?

The factory # for the tie rod end boot is 53546-S84-003. They are about $2. Energy suspension also makes universal ones.

Thanks. It didn't look like the boots came off without ripping them though. You know which energy suspension part # fits our cars?
