I found decaying rubber boots on the upper ball joint and tie rod end. Both of the ball joints have grease zerks, so I assume they aren't OEM (it's a 2011). I like the idea of keeping these greasable parts (especially since GM doesn't sell an upper ball joint, only the whole $200 upper control arm). The ball joints aren't worn, I think the boot deterioration was recent. So, if I could figure out where to source new rubber boots, I think I could just replace those and be on my merry way.
I don't know who made them though! The upper doesn't have a logo, but the TRE one is pictured here:
Any idea who made this? Or really what I'm asking is, where can I get a good quality boot replacement? Maybe it doesn't even need to be from whichever company made the joint - though I'd prefer to get the right one from the original maker, if I can figure out who that is.
