Maxi Ball-joint Gaiters
Hi All,
As I understand it, from January next year , the MOT will include a check on the condition of all ball-joint gaiters.
Thing is both gaiters on my Maxi ball-joints have perished.
Does anyone know if these are available separately? I don't really want to buy complete new joints.
Does anyone know?
Cheers
Martin

Yep,i got some new ones from ebay that fit perfectly. The gaiters I was supplied with my kit fell to bits without any use at all after a few
months.

I had the same problem with mine and bought 2 X SLIDE-A-BOOT LARGE UNIVERSAL BALL JOINT TRACK ROD END RUBBER GREASE COVERS |
eBay replacements from ebay. They were straight forward to fit. I hope they last longer than the last ones!

Those are the ones i used too. Madness? 7 quid seemed like a bargain to me.

Does seem a bit steep, a complete new ball joint is only £10...

Remember it's £7 for 2 of them. How long have those new maxi ball joints been sitting on the shelf waiting for a bit of light to turn the
gaiters into dust.
