Ball Joint Boots?

[Fishcop]

Hi All

I've found that the rubber boots on my ball-joints have perished (5 years old ), but I can't seem to locate replacements... Does this mean I need to replace my 2000 mile ball-joints just for boots

Thanks for any tips

Never heard of replacement boots, John. I think you will be stuck buying new ball joints.

Get the Lemforder ball joints, those suckers are built to last!

Had the same issue, good ball joints bad boots. Bought boots for my XKE that turned out to
also fit my 911

John - I swear I've seen a post on here in the last couple of year where somebody found a source. No idea how long you'd have to sift thru search engine results, but might be worth a shot.

OTOH, if your ball joints are old then...

928intl.com sells the boots for $19. It's item 431 407 377 A. Or you can buy them at your local Audi dealer for quite a bit more.
