I'm considering the Bell Crank and Spring upgrade, was it worth it? Did you do the work yourself?

I tried the Napa boots, they almost fell off faster than I could put them on. So I tried what someone suggested on this forum and cut a tennis ball up and put the pieces on. Works great! I've had them on for a couple years now and they are still doing the job.

Ditto on the NAPA boots. I tried using them on my tie rod ends, and they were gone in less than 300 miles. The problem is, the NAPA boots are made for a 3/4" dia. shank and the tie rod ends on my W24 are 7/8". You can stretch the boots on, but they are under such tension, they split as soon as you try to move the vehicle.
