    I was rotating the wheels when spotting the front ball joint missing the rubber boot. I don't like the look of this at all. Didn't somebody loose a ball joint going the strip last season. What do you guys think? Where can I get some heavy duty ball joints for the front end?

    Looks like the tie rod end boot melted. Mine did that after a few open track events. Replaced them with some Cobra R tie rod ends that have the hi-temp boot on them and haven't had that problem again.

    The front end alignment costs more than the parts. You might want to hold off replacing it if you are planning any suspension mods in the near future.
