How do I replace the boot on the lower control arm
 
Does anyone know how to replace the boot on the front passenger side lower control arm? Mine is leaking some grease so I want to replace the piece (only cost 15 bucks) but the dealer wants $240 to install it... so fuck that. If there is already a thread please link me haha.
Thanks

We have never been able to replace just the ball joints in the front lowers. We've replaced the entire lower control arm when the boots are cracked. That is a fair price.

The whole control arm from Mazda includes are new bushings and ball joint. As Eric said, just replace the whole arm.
