While the knuckle puts a downward force on the boot it is not what makes the boot seal around the control arm. When you push the boot down on the control arm it almost pops into place around the lip. While I haven't seen it without the lip I can imagine how much more random crap will get into the ball joint without a proper seal.

Whitleline, Superpro, and Energry Suspension. I'm sure there are more companies, but those are the ones I have looked into and used.
