I got some new front control arms and want to put poly ball joint boots on, I can't seem to figure out how the original ones are attached, don't want to rip it... or should I leave it.

the bushings on them are beautiful, I am very hesitant to slap polys on them, should I just install them as they are?

your comments appreciated....

No reason not to.

Stockers are what I'm running on my new setup.
