pistonbroke Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Toyota don't do ball joints, only whole arms. You can measure the rubber gaiter though and get a generic one to fit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wantthatone Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 where can i get a universal boot please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Best bet is to get one off an old arm with worn bushes. And to split the ball joint in such a way as to not bugger the boot next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Good find! Or has this been linked to before? Seem to recall something about replacement boots now I think about it. No need to scavenge old bits, assuming one of them will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
