I have purchased some 'large' universal ones off ebay as I couldn't see any of the usual suppliers selling them, but am not convinced they will fit. Anyone know of a source for these?

I cannot get the club boots to fit the balljoints I have, so I am still looking.

I have bought numerous aftermarket boots & cannot seem to find the right size, either too big or too small.

Has anyone had any success buying these, if so please can you share your source?

At this rate I will have to buy complete new balljoints, which seems a waste.

Thanks

Tony

I am a bit nervous posting this link because it is based on hearsay rather than experience,
but I did see they boots recommended on the Sideways forum some years ago, even though they are costly.


(Having recently purchased some photographic enlarger lens adapters,)
I have found it is now quite slow (couple of weeks) for post to come from the former Eastern Bloc
but it does turn up.


Another option I would personally consider is buy OE Ford if they sell the boots separately.....
