For anyone digging up this old thread I can recommend Mecatech balljoint covers - made of neoprene. I bought them direct from my area supplier (check http://www.mecatech.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false in a box of 12. Tight fit but strong

stuuuupid question coming....................
:shock:
how do you change just the boot??
i take it you still have to release the ball joint to gain access???

All you have to do is release the balljoint from the knuckle - which sounds so easy :shock: :evil: :lol:
