View Full Version : Grease boot BROKE on upper left A-arm

Their are 3 small rubber boots on the front of the 400EX. I was looking at my brake pads today and noticed that the boot at the bootom of the tie rod end is broke their is a small amount of grease, their is a hole in the rubber boot. I wish Honda would have put a grease zert for these boots instead of making them sealed. Anyways anyone know how to replace them? Can I ride with it like it is, broke? Thanks

I heard they are not replacable, you have to replace the entire A-arm. My friend has the same problem, he just made sure there was enough grease and coverd the hole with silicon. It seems to work for now as a tempory fix. Just be sure to check it after every ride until you get a new A-arm.
