Boot on my Control arm has a Rip in it!

Hey guys i got a rip somehow on my control arm Ball Joint Boot, Is there anything i can do to fix it or do i just need to take it off and replace it.

 

i think it should be covered i dont know how in the world it happened.

 

Pics?

 

nah dont have any pics yet i am at work its the joint on the Control arm at the top of the susension. its got a little puncture hole in it and when you press down on it grease comes out of the hole

 

yeah i will probably run it up there

 

make them pay!

 

jsut a small update, they told me since i had a TRD suspension on the truck and it wasnt installed by them they would not cover it under warranty work and wanted to charge me for a full upper control arm! i said forget that.

So any suggestions on what to do to fix the small hole in the boot? its about the size of a pen tip

 

wait wait wait...the dealer is claiming that the TRD suspension is not installed by toyota?...............BWAHAHAHAHAHA that is the biggest load of shit i have ever heard.

Or did you buy a non trd, and install trd suspension parts? In that case i would look like a complete fool...ehh par for the course. haha

 

i mean i guess its possible anything is, but i dont see how... we did the same things on the other side with no problem.

I think maybe i can fill the boot back up with grease and then put hot glue over it

 

i bought a Non-TRD and installed TRD shocks

 

Ok, like i said, par for the course for me. lol. But then again, what fun is life if you cant laugh at yourself every now and then. Oh well enough of my nonsense, back to the thread. You could always just buy a new upper ball joint. they are like 30 bucks.

 

they told me i needed a whole UCA! i was like WHAT! so you can just buy the ball joint and get a shop to press it in?

 

Since when? i just changed both of my ball joints...

 

wow that sucks for sure! why do they even sell that part seperatly then?

 

do you have a second gen taco?

 

Yes sir i do. A 2006.

 

Well wait a minute. this might be new on the 2010's. The ball joint i show says 2005-2009. hmmm...

 

haha. There is so much of not looking at each other's profile going on in here. Nobody knows who has what lol.
