It could be something that was put on them to keep the mud out of them. I have had to dig mud out of them to adjust them,

Grandmaster of the "Shade Tree" way.. I can't see the yard for all the cars. Come on down and we will sit on the porch and watch the grass grow.

Yes, my manual shows the early years had a small boot over the end of the bar. the last 4 years I think, 80-82, didn't have anything.

Sorry, got called away for a while. I will try to get a picture of one soon. Thanks for the replies so far.

Here are the pictures of the boots

I can't imagine what purpose those boots serve.
