American Star

Anybody else had any problems with American Star’s tie rod end boots? I bought 4 new ends about this time last year and had problems with the boots rolling up on the ends from the get go. I even emailed American Star last fall asking if I could buy boots before the ends were trashed and they wouldn’t sell me any. Needless to say 3 of 4 ends are junk and Ive only put 400-500 miles on the machine since I put the ends on. Since I bought the 12mm ends and rods my options were limited so I broke down and bought another set. Put them on this morning and both inner ends are doing the same thing. The boots will not stay seated no matter what I try. Anybody else experiencing this with their ends? Its frustrating to say the least.
