Hi All,
Whilst giving my Dolly some cavity wax protection for the winter, I noticed the near side top ball joint has a split in the rubber which will be an MOT fail.



I see on Ebay you can buy replacement split dust covers and glue them closed, thus avoiding the need to remove any nuts... Are these any good?

I think I would prefer to replace the dust cover as a whole unit, therefore can anyone tell me where I can source some covers of the correct size/type? Or failing that, tell me what the top & bottom hole diameter should be?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Knowing what happened when I once tried split CV joint boot and ended up with more of me stuck together than the boot, I'd pay the extra for a new nyloc nut and get the ball joint splitter out...

Ball joint dust covers are available from club spares.

Thanks guys for the replies, I'll get some from the club...

Cheers Dave
