Who has used this kit before? Which one is for our ball joints? The smaller one fits over the stud of the ball joint nice and tight but I can't get it to pop over the bottom part of the ball joint like stock ones do. The bigger boot will cover the whole thing but the hole for the stud is bigger than the stud and it doesn't seem like it should fit right. Top left kit.....

Not used the kit but the large ones should be for the ball joints and the smaller ones for the tie rods.

The description of the kit says its a universal style kit that does upper and lowers and to only use the lowers since we don't have uppers obviously. They don't fit the tie rod ends anyway. Those are a separate kit.

they kit I got might have been the lower left one...

The lower left is the tie rod boots, fit perfect
The upper left is the ball joint boots in question
The right is the strut mount kit

The smaller boot seems like it MIGHT pop down to the lower section of the ball joint if the spindle is bolted on but I'm not bolting the old one back on. I am waiting till I get the SN spindles next weekend.
