Re: [T3] Anybody got ball joint boots?

["Dan Hoopes" <dan@ewed.net>]

did you test your joints to see if they are really good?  i like this
method:  take some huge channel-lock pliers and compress the joint
lengthwise.  if you see it compress more than a millimeter or two (anyone
have better info?) then it is probably bad.
