OK now I have to replace my control arm assembly because you cant replace that boot, right ? If anyone can help with ideas or know how let me know.

You have to drill out the current one, but the kit comes with new bolts vs. rivets that are stock. Check their catalog!!! BAT Catalog -Lance Lance Kinley CEG Webmaster 95 SE, "Cassandra" 10 years!

Most aftermarket units (very makes & models) are like this versus requiring the purchase of an entire control arm. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
