Does anyone know if it's possible to get new rubber boots for maxi ball joints and transit drop links? Mine are perishing and spliting already but the joints themselves are brand new, the car hasn't even seen daylight yet! Looks like the ones MK supplied me were rather old!

you're not the only one to have this happen; the rubber on one of my ball joints perished- replacement boot off ebay.

give me a few mins to find it .....

make sure you don't destroy the springs when separatng the ball joints.

Send 'em back.

Brilliant thanks for the link. Designer I take it you have never dealt with mk before.

Just done a search on ebay and there are loads, why didn't i think of that.

It's ok i've ordered some now, only came to £12.

I've got the same problem with Rally Design supplied transit links, they are several years old but still boxed and in there protective poly bag unopened, it is still disappointing to look at perished components in there sealed bags, I expect the maxi joints and track rods will be the same soon
