I am not able to keep outer tie rod end dust boots on my truck. I figured the stud size at 3/4" and the base of the joint at 1 7/8" but I am having trouble finding anyplace that I can match these up at.

Any help is appreciated.

 

I had one go on my old 68 Chrysler....much smaller then our trucks....but was able to find one in the "Help" section at the auto parts store.

What brand of tie rod are you using? There has to be some reason it's tearing all the time.

 

I used two different brands, first was a Moog and the second a NAPA Premium. I found some at Energy Suspension. I'm going to look at everything closely when I take it apart this time.
