GEN 1 Tie rod dust cover

I recently saw that one of my tie rod dust covers is torn and wanted to see if any one has replaced theirs with a aftermarket or modified one like with a dirt bike rubber fork tube protector (pictured). I have the Rogue tie rods and everytime I get an alignment, the shop guys have to pull on the dust cover to adjust and tighten the end nuts, I'm assuming that's how it got torn.

@RDFTS used some none OE boots with his aftermarket rods. Not sure what brand though.

Here you go. Since the Rogue tie rods are probably the largest, these should fit well. If not, you aren't out much money.

@RDFTS Do you have these? What kind of tie rods do you have?

I do have them but ended up not using them. I keep one in my toolkit for emergency though. I have the SDHQ tie rods and they were just slightly large for this tie rod. I would think they would work good on the Rogue though. They are a softer rubber than the hard plastic stock ones.

Cool thanks guys, I'll be ordering these today.

Would these boots from sdhq work with RPG tie rods? It doesn't look like they are large enough on rack side.
