Thats what I have now, cheap rubber falling apart. For the stock type ball and sockets on the tie-rods, I am going with a small section of 1" heater hose and a couple of wire ties. It doesn't have to look original, just has to keep the grease in and dirt out. For the drag-link ends, I purchased some Energy Suspension universal boots, they were cheap and have a 7 year warranty if that means anything. I built this thing in '98-'99 so I guess its time for stuff to go bad.
