Upper/Lower Ball Joints boots 2
1995 GMC Jimmy 4.3 L Vortek SLT 4WD
Having noticed that the rubber boots on all Upper and Lower Ball Joints and TIE Rod Ends are ripped and damaged.
Of these three subspension components, is their a priority order of replacement , if I cannot replace all at same time ??>?

IMO if they are only ripped and there is no play in any of the parts id leave them until one needs replacing and do them all at 1 time that way you only need to have an alignment done once in stead of several times.

thank you !
Actually I did purchase Moog tie rod ends , not yet installed.
Yeah , sounds good - I'll check the play in ball joints . . .
Do all at same time.
I did check tightness (play) of the tie rod ends - appeared tight !
Yesterday I added grease to all by spreading the torn rubbers.
