    Default Bad Bushing??

    I just noticed this bushing while doing an oil change... What impact will it have if any with it being distorted as it is??

    Not a bushing Bro...just a dust seal for the tie rod end. Think of it as a willie pete bag for the joint. Keep it greased up and it will be fine.

    Absolutely right Eddie...I didn't look that close on 1st glance. Either way, the rubber boot appearing distorted is no big deal as long as it isn't torn or dry-rotted.

    GREAT!!! Much appreciated fellas!!

    I have to take it to the stealership to fix a couple TSB's on the clutch and I have more squeeks and squeals from under it than you'd believe... It's not even a year old and it's sounded like a rusty old bucket since about month 3...

    Thanks again guys!!
