     From your sig, if you're in the Boston area, places like
     Brookline Machine or Atlantic Machine in Allston will
     match up a replacement boot.  I don't know about your
     model, but on the 5KS I pressed out the old Ball Joint
     and replaced it with a VW type. Next time one goes,
     I'll just bite the bullet and buy a whole control arm
     (+/-$100) since it was a real PITA to get it out and the
     new one in.
