Top suspension arm rubber boot

[peter thomson]

Hi caught the top balljoint rubber boot today with a wire brush while cleaning up the turret prior to undersealing. Does anybody have a spare boot from an old top or bottom arm as they look to be about the same size. Hope somebody can heip.

They are about £8 from mitsi. I was actualy having this conversation with richy earlier today. I split mine when changing the bushes, and so i bought 10 of them for further tareages that are likely to occur. If you are stuck let me know, but mitsi got me mine next day.
Oh... and they are a little more than tight to fit!

That's not too bad then. Thanks for the info. The car is off the road just now until I've finished undersealing but I'm happy I dont have to buy a whole new arm

New boot arrived today and fitted it this evening. They are a very tight fit. I expected just to be a rubber boot held on by a circlip but the seal is bonded to a steel ring which has to be fitted over the balljoint.
I used a long 1 1/2" AF socket to fit the boot.
The seal fitted inside the socket and i then tapped the seal over the balljoint with a small rubber mallet . :happy:
