Has anybody tried to repair ball joint boots as a stop gap? I'm sure I'll have to replace them (again) soon. I was thinking RTV and possibly inner tube rubber if I had to. I know it's half assed but it's temporary.
If they haven't been torn long you can probably get away with it for a while, just pump some fresh grease in to make sure dirt doesn't get in the joints. Definitely don't put off replacing them for too long though.
I put on all new Moog ball joints and tie rods myself this past August. The balljoints have been holding up fine as far as I can tell, but I did have a tie rod end go bad in under 700 miles.
