Last year, when I ordered the UIM, the throttle body gasket came with it.

Where are you located? Some members on here might be willing to help for, as Ed said, some cold beer and pizza.

Re: Mother of all repair lists
Different gasket sets contain different components. I did not see a throttle body gasket in either your LIM or UIM set. Throttle body gaskets, however, only cost a few bucks (less than ten).
If replacing the boot, you would only need to replace the end that is leaking. You can leave the other end alone.

Re: Mother of all repair lists
You would just need to replace the boot that is leaking (look for the one with all the lube slung around it..) If both are leaking then look at getting a replacement they are 89-101 in my area... May be less of a pain in the long run vs 25 per boot...

Re: Mother of all repair lists
OUt of curiosity - what long term damage could be done with not replacing the shocks and CV boots? The car doesnt ride poorly at all (I mainly do highway driving with it)

Re: Mother of all repair lists
If the CV boots are split and spitting grease out, then the joints will begin to fail, you'll hear it as a clicking. They could eventually come apart, leaving you stranded.
Shocks: Car is gonna ride and handle poorly, and could stress the air compressor trying to maintain ride-height.
