1990 944 S2 ball joint boot.
Discussion
Hi
My car failed it's mot today on a split rubber boot on the front control arm ball joint.
Obviously these are expensive parts to replace and I've already replaced the other side with a rebuilt arm from Part Works in Germany which I should add the service was brilliant and the item spot on.
My question is, should I bother trying to find a new rubber or should I bite the bullet and change the whole arm for a rebuilt item? I can only presume the boot wasn't split last MOT so I can presume at the very most it's covered 3k miles with a split boot. Although the car was used all winter so salt and spray could potentially have got in. I'm going to be paying the labour for the boot anyway and I don't think it's much more work to replace the arm.
What do we think?
