Default Experts chime in: Cusco A-arms, repairable?

There's some cracking on these rubber parts because they were left in the garage for a period of time. Would they affect the performance or functionality in any way? Why if you put them on and it cracks/breaks off?

I put new pics up scroll down please...

I think it could be changed but will cost a bit of money...anyone else? People who have Cusco a-arms feel free to chime in anytime...

I suspect it's a weak link but maybe others haven't had this happen to them. Mine have been like that for some time and I have been using them as is. I heard somewhere that you can't really just change the seal. If you come up with a solution, please let me know.

I see, would it compromise your car if that thing cracked off and exposed whatever's underneath?

There was a thread about this a couple months ago. I think it cost either $100 total or $100 each for replacement ball joints. It's a shame search sucks.
