Upper front ball joint rubber boots

[Danny Hoffman]

Hi all, long time no post!

Does anyone know the size of the upper ball joint boots?

Thanks

Danny

You cheapskate Danny, just replace the balljoint and have done with it
I bet you wouldn't look for a Porsche boot, now would you...

Funnily enough I did trip over a website t'other day for some company that listed spare rubbers (fnarr) for b/js and TREs... [rummage]

I wasn't being tight - just lazy :-)

The P has gone and been replaced by a DB7

After umpteen trial fits of the new spring/damper units I've damaged the rubber boot on one of the brand new ball joints. So I'd like to here if replacement boots can be had.

Are they Cortina ones ?

[Danny Hoffman]

Yes they are Cortina ones. I ended up changing the joint (it felt quote loose).

For those who are interested the diameter of the ball joint is 16mm and 40mm, so I reckon the larger boots http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am... will fit.

Cheers

Danny
