That looks like a Moog boot. I had the same issue. Changed to ES and no issues.

I agree that's not an ES boot.
Thanks guys. I put the ES boots on the tie rods even before the car arrived. I thought I had done the ball joints too since I had already preordered the Moog parts. Edward send me a picture and I have the ball joint boots swapped out now and looks good.
