Has anyone here installed these boots on their BX and if so what is the verdict? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/25211347625...XRlG%2FzfMnSDJZSNnl8|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2334524
BX Steering knuckle boots.

- Start date
The original inner boot (k125301660) is no longer available from Kubota, It changes up to a complete tie-rod end assembly for quite a bit more money if all you really need is the boot!

I bought my own "pieces" and made up the system for a little less!
The hardest part was buying the correct "C" clips.
BUT for the cost and the time - those on Ebay are perfect and fit well.

I have not used those, but did get some from an OTT member a few years ago. No longer an option if my memory serves. Unfortunate, as they were great.
botaproducts has been around for quite a while. I think I got something from them a while ago. Don't remember what it was. If it was bad, I'm sure I'd remember!
For the $$, I would try them! Bet it beats the $$ for a new tie rod end by a lot!

I bought the inner boots from the same fellow in your link. Work great, fast shipping, easy swap. Had them on since last fall, no issues

I've had them on my BX a couple of years now (approx. 500 hours) and no complaints. If I recall correctly they were an easy installation also.
Rockauto sells tie rod boots in their tools and universal parts section in a couple different sizes
Got those a couple years ago to replace tore OEM boots on my 2015 BX. Easy install and are still going fine.

I bought them but haven't gotten around to installing them yet. They look like really good quality and shipping was really fast to Alberta Canada
I got them after my OEM boots split after a year ot two. These have been in use four+ years. Decent product.

with the right wrenches and good ol jack and a magic marker - it is almost a fun fix!
I replaced lots of oem ones in the years as a Kubota mechanic so I think I got this!
I installed a set last year and so far so good. I also have the underneath fuel filter upgrade from the same seller and it's been on there for four years, also with no problems. Recommended.
I know this is an old thread. I just ordered the boots but I ordered them directly from the website. Same seller as the eBay link, but for a little more (free shipping!) I get the inner and outer boots. Figure I might as well tackle both while in there.
