I was changing my oil today and noticed that both ball joint grease boots on the upper and lower control arm are busted. I dont understand how they are already busted when they are just barely a year old im pretty sure..

They were busted when we did your exhaust, David. Along with the transmission mount nut missing.

The ball joints are broken or just the grease boots? I think some aftermarket chain stores sell the boots by themselves.....you'd still have the split the press fit of the knuckle to the stud but at least you would not have to replace the joints.
lol sorry I mean the grease boots are busted..
