I was trying to save a buck and bought a turbo tie rod set (Lemforder) off ebay. Unfortunately, it came with mismatched rack boots. One was shiny, the other matt black. I recall one was more desirable then the other but can't remember which one. Does PP sell the good boots indivdually? I'm guessing the seller's gonna tell me to pound sand so want to see if I can buy the boot separately...there goes the few pennies I tried to save

If both boots are in good shape and will protect the rod ends then I would

put them on, know one will see them except maybe a slow moving cat as you

pass over it.

Not worried about esthetics of the boot or even what that cat thinks . I am worried about replacing an inferior boot after several hundred miles, especially AFTER I get the alignment done...

As long as you didn't change the length of the tie rod end you should be able to disconnect and reconnect to swap the boot.
