These are the replacement tie rod boots I was talking about.

They are diffferent profile to original, but are a very good fit. The upper hole is quite snug through the tie rod bolt end, but will make for a good tight fit and sits really well. Using the original spring keeps the boot pressed to both surfaces. Just need to remove the short right-angled end piece (about 8mm long) on bottom end of the spring. I had already removed those before I took these photos, sorry. The two metal discs are from the original boot. One goes inside bottom of new boot, below the spring.

The boots courtesy of ebay at cost of $5.95 pair, from this seller in AUS: http://stores.ebay.com.au/suzukisupe...id=p4340.l2563

Part identification No: TE 8

Specs as per following photo.
