Default The Energy Suspension tie rod boot 913103G - what does it fit?

I saw this boot from energy suspension:

Wondering if it fits front tie rods, rear, or both. I looked around, nowhere seems to say.
I'm replacing all rubber suspension parts, and the front and both front and rear have 3 similar boots (upper ctrl arm to knuckle, lower ctrl arm to knuckle, and tie rod to knuckle). Wonder if it fits any of those.

Don't do that to yourself. Those won't seal. If yours are broken, just buy new boots from a Honda dealer.

Polyurethane isn't the best idea for suspension bushings either.

Why are you going after this? Are your bushings broken? Or...did someone tell you this is some sort of upgrade....? Its a downgrade, in most ways.

I do basically everything myself. All rubber on my suspension was dry rotted. It is not a bushing, It is a dust boot.

Sorry, that may have came across the wrong way. I know people have thoughts about poly vs oem. I am just wondering what fitment is on these, and I am sure other people will find this info useful if anyone knows, since I couldn't find the info on the interwebs.

No worries. Poly boots fit like they do on any vehicle. They just sit on there and form a very loose "seal". They're more of a dust cap. You'll have to keep greasing the joint.

That's what I meant by "they don't seal". They're just a universal part. They "fit" the S2000.

And also why I suggested just buying replacement rubber boots from Honda that actually do seal and fit.

I addressed your thoughts on replacing your bushings with poly as a second topic...

I don't just have negative thoughts on poly bushings. I have evidence that they don't last very long. And that the car will ride BADLY once its all in place. That's kinda why I wouldn't recommend this, regardless of who's doing the work.

Its your car! Just sharing my experience.
