    Anyone know the easiest way to replace the rubber seals for the lube points on the steering linkage and suspension? I went out and spent $25 bucks on a deluxe grease gun, only to bring it home and find the seals busted. The greasing helped a bunch anyway, but I'd hate to have to do it every three weeks instead of every three years.:p thanks in advance for your help!

    Buy new ones and take the joints apart and replace them. Most Mustang suppliers have them.

    Grease boots

    I got some split grease boots for the tie rods and they work pretty well. You don't have to remove the tie rods to install them. Don't remember the company right off hand but could get it if you're interested.
