Replace the whole part saves you a ballache. These parts are usually cheap but only you can say for Israel.

the stabilisers are pretty cheap yes , the others not . especially the wishbone! it costs 300 GBP from Peugeot.

They are in good condition , only the rubber is torn.

Where can i get it?

Thanks

Have you searched for aftermarket parts instead?

There is some ball joint rubbers in the group buy section if I remember

Replacement droplinks aren't much. If you can't get them there, ask someone here nicely to send you over some.

 

As for the ball joint rubbers. I bought a pair recently although haven't fitted them yet to advise on fit etc.

The wishbone balljoint rubbers are a fiddly arsehole of a job due to the spring clip being a bastard to refit. Still, it's worth doing if your wishbones are in otherwise good condition and only the rubber is perished.

 

I got mine a few years ago from eBay. I'm sure I recall reading on here that an identified source was a Morris Minor part!

 

EDIT: actually I think I got mine from a group buy or seller on this forum. But I've definitely seen them on eBay in the past.

Many motorfactors are selling increasing ranges of replacement rubber boots due to a recent change in the mot requirements/test procedures and guidelines.

 

Formerly a perished boot on an otherwise correctly functioning component was purely an advisory, however is now a fail iirc.

I had some for my bottom ball joints from here - http://www.balljointboots.co.uk/

 

Boot 4 fits the Bottom Ball Joint

Boot 1 fits the track rod ends

 

Not sure about the drop links, you'd have to measure up.

[omri617 18]

So basically I need 2 of each you mentioned?

If you get them a very useful tip for fitting the gaitors is to cut 2 pieces of brake pipe approx 4 inches long,put each end of the spring clip into the bits of brake pipe and as you pull the pipes apart it opens the spring clip up.

I understand that probably makes little sense written down but if you do it all will become clear and will save you some sore finger tips.

That's a good tip. Will be giving that a go

Just ordered a pair of Boot 4 ball joint boots for the above link as noticed mine are perished and split but don't want to chuck crap new wishbones on as mine are decent.

How have people got one with them? Hopefully will last a while
