not any time soon. i see people drive with busted tie rod boots all the time at the shop. lol i had my last civic for 3 years with 2 busted boots never had a problem. an i dont know how long it was busted before i got the shell. sure u want to get it fixed sooner or later but its nothing to freak out about at this point in time.

check for a zerk fitting on the rod end? there probably won't be one on the oe part, but if there is, you can easily regrease it.
