Default Front Lower Ball Joint Boot - part number?

Anyone know the part number for the front lower ball joint boot?

I ordered it from the steelership and they have supplied the seat.

Regards

Colin

That's total crap, if you get a burst boot you need to buy the whole thing.

I've got moonface RCAs so obviously don't want to replace them.

I haven't gone through this yet........ie, my lower ball joint boots are still in tact........but, i do know some really good rubber adhesives that cure to a very flexible compound....i have told myself that before worrying about this i would try fixing the boot..

of course dependant if the ball joint still articulates well and has adequate grease still.

I'm going to try that too Jason, ball joints are fine, grease was a bit dirty but still plenty, i removed the boot, cleaned it up and re-greased as a temporary fix recently. I'll try some adhesive on the splits as they are not too bad.
