I noticed some very small stress/dry rot cracks on the boots of the upper ball joints on my truck. They do not go all the way through the boot yet. They are about 3 mm long.
Would it be a good idea to put some RTV on them? I was thinking Ultra Black might be good because it stays flexible, but I don't know if the chemicals in it might degrade the rubber faster or simply not bond well. I definitely don't want to risk having the rubber deteriorate faster.
Anything else I should consider using? The joints themselves are still in very good shape and I would hate to replace them in only a year or so because the boots ripped open.
