The old fix was buying a whole new ball joint just to get a fresh boot. Energy Suspension's polyurethane dust boots let you skip that. They reseal the joint, hold the grease in, and keep the contamination out, and because they're polyurethane instead of rubber, they don't dry out and crack the way the factory boots did. On a 90-01 Integra (DC2, DB8) or an 88-00 Civic or CRX that's been on the road for decades, this is a few dollars of insurance against a much bigger repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese cover the front ball joints on the DC2 and DB8 Integra across RS, LS, GS, GS-R, and Type R, plus the 88-00 Civic and CRX and the 93-97 Del Sol. Polyurethane shrugs off the road salt, engine chemicals, and grime that rot rubber, so once these are on they tend to outlast everything around them. It's the kind of cheap, easy part people add to a suspension refresh almost as an afterthought, then never have to think about the boot again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes two upper and lower ball joint dust boots, enough to cover the front of the car. They reseal the joint and hold grease the same way the factory rubber boot did, just in a more durable material. One install note worth knowing up front: these polyurethane boots do not require a snap ring, so you don't need to save the metal retaining ring off your old boots. They're a no-special-tools job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.13101R (red), 16.13101G (black)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBall joint dust boots, polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Suspension Hyper-Flex polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 upper and lower ball joint boots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnap ring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 year \/ 750,000 mile, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColor options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eENS-1613101R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.13101R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eENS-1613101G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.13101G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed and black are the same polyurethane at the same hardness.

Energy's dust boots are a semi-universal part, the same boot family covers a lot of vehicles, so they seal and function correctly but they don't always sit with the dead-perfect molded look of a factory-specific rubber boot. Owners who run them are clear on this: they fit well enough to do the job, they hold grease, and they last basically forever, but they're not a precision OEM-shaped part. For a few dollars to save a ball joint, that's the trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, this is a boot, not a bushing, so the usual poly NVH tradeoff does not apply here. You're not changing how the car rides, you're just resealing the joint with a tougher material. No firmer ride, no added vibration, nothing to grease into submission to stop a squeak. It's purely protective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThird, do it while the front end is apart. Nobody pulls the suspension just to swap a dust boot, but if you're already in there doing ball joints, control arm bushings, or a full front-end refresh, throwing these on is a couple of minutes and cheap insurance. A lot of people add them to a bushing order so the joint they just cleaned and greased stays sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1990-1993 Acura Integra \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1994-2001 Acura Integra \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1988-1991 Honda CRX \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1988-1991 Honda Civic Base\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1988-1991 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1996-2000 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1992-1995 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Energy Suspension","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45853683056674,"sku":"ENS-1613101G","price":10.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red","offer_id":45853683089442,"sku":"ENS-1613101R","price":10.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/15537404.JPG?v=1782512236","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/energy-suspension-ball-joint-dust-boots-integra-civic","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
