G'day all.
Whilst under the Disco yesterday I noticed the the right hand lower ball joint has a split rubber boot. It looks like damage rather than age. My car only has 97K on it. I have applied some silicone sealant over the crack. Will this be ok?
All others boots are in good order.
Thoughts?

I had another look just then and the silicone seems to have sealed the split. The front end is still very tight and steering is very direct.
Question. Don't you have to remove the hub carrier to change the boots?

Yes the carrier needs removal.
Look up 'swearing and skinned knuckles' on Youtube for a tutorial on how to do that, plus replace the ball joints.
Cheers,
Jason
