Just spent $ & Calendar Days on a Powerflex Bushing, Control Arm, Tension Strut Ball Joint Upgrade. Thanks to all of the DIY's here and helpful hints on Xoutpost. Alsmost did not need my Bently Bible (Manuel).
This allowed for a thorough inspection of the boots. Fortunately I am fine - for now.
Q: Is there a protectant that one can spray on to these boots to help keep the rubber pliable or is it best to keep them clean & dry.

Thanks for any helpful hints here.
