I tore this boot on my DK LCA. I’ve been greasing the zerk every two weeks then it starts squeaking again. Think I could fix it with flex tape? thanks.

I had a ball-joint boot fail on my last vehicle and ignored the issue and constantly greased the joint. The end result was the ball-joint failing. I am lucky that I did not die due to the failure. the replacement ball-joint was about $35. What is your life worth to you?
