Track rod end coverings

On the CBS site, they sell a heat shrink track rod end covering.

I need to replace the track rod ends on my car, but do I need to cover them up , a la CBS, or does it just look better?

The stuff only cost £3, but they want £6 for postage. So

Do you run our car with them covered or not?

Cheers
Craig

Just looks 'better' if you like that kind of thing. Cable junction box glands are cheaper and work just as well.

If you really want to cover them up... get some plastic cable glands... they just slide over the rod etc..
