Default Drivers Side Drag Link Boot Cracked?





Anyone know what would cause this on a Rubicon with 4,000 miles. I have only been wheeling twice. I'm running a Skyjacker 4 inch lift with 35's. I just want to make sure it's not somthing to do with the lift causing too much pressure on the Drag Link. Thanks

from the picture it looks like the bolt has been removed.did they replace the pitman arm when they did the lift?if so they have to use a fork of sort to seperate the tie rod from the pitman arm and they damaged the boot.you can buy new poly ones and then put them on.good luck
