I used this place and got boots for the Lower ball joint the right size. They also do the tie rod ones.

I have had to replace the 40 year old boots on my Dart.
All motor factors sell them now, as its now part of the MOT test.
Try your local motor factors, they will have an assortment of sizes.

keep in mind balljoint boots and balljoint seals are not the same
mopars used seals
renforced plastic base with a rubber section that pressed onto the body of the balljoint. the base had grooves in it to allow the grease to squeeze out and the part for the taper of the joint was thick like it was again reenforced with a plastic washer
a balljoint boot is a more inflatable rubber ballon thing and is designed to be held on by a snap ring or clip on a balljoint or track rod end that has a reciver groove for the clip. you pump them up and they contain the grease by stretching
in mopar land seals are best
boots get your Mopar through an MOT but do they stay on a Mopar lower or upper balljoint.....no
not tried them on track rod ends. but the mopar ones used seals as well
seal
boot
