I'm sure I read a post here recently for a good supplier of track rod boots that don't perish as fast as the cheese ones. Anyone else see it or have I gone mad. Are the boots on the drag link the same?
I'm sure it wasn't one of the usual suspects. Might have been on the buggy forum - if it was I'll put the info on here if I get it.
I’ve just fitted some from here: https://www.balljointboots.co.uk/ They’ve not been on long enough to estimate life but they look and feel good quality.
Thanks Westy. I have found the one I was thinking of - it's South Wales Propshafts: http://www.southwalesprops.co.uk/propshaft/consumables/ball_joint.htm
I ordered boot 2 but they also sent me boot 3 foc so I could use whichever fitted best. https://www.balljointboots.co.uk/page6.html Boot 2 was best but I didn’t like the supplied tie wraps and I reused the original metal retaining clips. The boots from South Wales Propshafts look good.
I think that is the ones I used with easy to fit rubber retaining clips, found the metal clips almost impossible (for me) to fit. Get a spare set just in case.
Well, South Wales Propshafts want £4 +vat each plus a fiver post. £15ish for a pair. They did say they were made of neoprene and wouldn't perish. Balljointboots however were only £3/pair plus £3 post - so I bought 2 pairs (boot size 2) for under a tenner.
