Leon B Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 A search will reveal these have been talked about before, think the outcome was its as cheap to replace the whole joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstreak-Andy D Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I was lucky and bought some spare boots (£1 ea) at a local autojumble, always worth looking out for! Andy:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Actually, I did a search but nothing relevant came up. Using Google I found this http://www.clubstylus.org.uk/buildtips.htm (about half way down the page) which mentions poly track rod end boots. Anyone used them? I can't believe that the outcome is usually to replace the whole joint - I know this is not the low cost forum but surely we are not all so rich that any item less than a tenner is thow away? Or am I just being tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Are you from Yorkshire? *Tyres* are considered throw away, so yeah, anything under a tenner is definitely not to be worried about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Not from Yorkshire... tight fisted all the same. It is just a shame as they have covered 0 miles and work perfectly they just need a bit of rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
