    Upper Ball Joint Boots

    OK I've seen several different part numbers for upper ball joint boots. I have ERG 9.1301G (I believe this is for the tie rod ends) and the ERG 5.13102G kit of 4 ball joint boots (13024 that fits the lower ball joint well and 13009 that doesn't fit either). None of these fit well. What is the right ERG part number for uppers? Thanks.

    Energy Suspension 5.13102G Ball Joint Dust Boot for Chrysler is what I've used on several builds. Includes four boots, but only use the top ones. The small/shorter ones. Maybe you're expecting them to fit differently than they actually do. They don't fit over the ball joint mount on the UCA. Just push against the bottom of it. Works fine. Visible in this build picture.

    Thanks for the help. They do fit differently than I expected. Once I bolted on the spindle they fit over the ball joint. The bottoms worked on the lower ball joint as well.
