Thread: Energy Suspension Tie Rod Boot for B14

I'm not quite sure what the part number for the Energy Suspension Tie Rod boot is for the B14. I tore up my tie rod boot and ball joint boot trying to remove the knuckle in a hurry. Learned my lesson.

And also, can I use this same boot for both tie rod and ball joint?

Thanks in advance,

if anybody know please post need number as well lol thanks

Go to autozone, they can look it up in their nifty book. It might be universal though...

don't go to autozone, I don't believe they will be of any helo in this situation. Ball Joint and tie rod end boots are different on must cars, I would have to check to be 100% on that one Either get them from Nissan or get the ES one's. I can look up part #'s tomorrow if nobody has helped you yet.

There is no reason to get ES tie rod end boots. The only reason to get them is because your tierod end is worn out. You are better off getting some new moog tie rod ends for about $60 total and some toe in plates for another $70. Replace your tie rod ends and learn to do your own alignment at the same time. To do everything should only take you about 3 hours on one day. 45 minutes to replace the tierod ends, and a little over 2 hours to figure out how to properly align your car. Sure you wont be able to do camber but you really don't have too. I never did adjust my camber on my lowered b14 and the inner part of my tires are still fine. They have been on for almost a year now and I am still rocking.

Took me 2 days to do my tie rods, stupid rust haha.

Thanks for the Alignment tip, it's really not hard

Again, people need to start doing their own alignments because it really is not that hard. So how long did it take you to get your toe adjusted Vadim, maybe 2 hours at the most?


Use this:
AutoZone.com | BallJointSeparator | BallJointSeparator

Super cheap and works really well. Put some grease on the fork and start beating on the end with a hammer and that tierod end will pop out in no time.

It took me about an hour to initially align but my steering wheel was not perfectly centered so I need to fix that now haha .

As for the ball join separator, it worked well on popping them out and my passenger side. Driver side was a nightmare, I took a grinder and cut a chunk out of the tie rod and it still didn't want to move.

Do not use that. God I hate those things. If you ever need to remove a ball joint or tie rod that's still good you're going to ruin the boot with that.

Get something like this:

I have one and it works wonders. Well worth the extra $10 and won't fuсk up your boots.

Or maybe something like this:

Or use gear pullers...
