    Rubber dust cover boot for lower ball joints?

    Hi all,

    My lower ball joints have a small tear, no issue with the ball joints, so I would like to only replace the boot.

    Where can I get them from?

    Repco sells generic ones and many other places on ebay, has anyone bought any, any suggestion?What size?

    cheers

    See why nobody wants to talk about this... worst job in the D2 world, by a long long street.

    When I did these on the D2 (got the mechanic to do the D2a, I'm not stupid twice) was looking for the same thing and was going to purchase them but the ball joint had some play.

    Given my D2a was nearly 20 years old, I just paid the $$ ( about $700) and had AMV put in all new 4 ball joints when one of my boots cracked.

    Easy and good fir another 20 years 😊
    Cheers

    Well they do mention they are silicon as well, it is just the sizing that I am not sure of. Been a few years since my dalliance with this issue.

    Sure there was info on AULRO re the sizing and that Repco had a fit with their second rate rubber ones which were not recommended (hence my search for quality at the time and finding the Gwyn Lewis site)

    Comparing only the pictures, they look reasonably similar but the local one may require trimming around the 41mm end, or maybe not!

    Suppose for mine, the extra is probably worth it for surety of sizing and you get the clips, as getting to the stage where you can find IF they fit is still a fair bit of work.

    Shipping

    When there is no postage cost and item on EBAY, most of my experiences is that they are not here in AUS and are shipped from CHiNA, The cost of postage of a item is normally around $9 for AUSPOST...

    There is a price premium for them against the pommy site.
