I needs some balljoint boots for a triton but no auto parts places can match them up for me.
Anyone know where to get some? I live in Newcastle.

I would have expected that some of the aftermarket universal style jobbos from repco or burson would do the trick?

They worked for my old Datsun 180b

They come in various sizes, so have a fair idea what size boots you'll need before you buy them

Burson?
I have not heard of them. I tried repco, and got some aftermarket ones for the top, but they didn't have any to fit the bottom.

flylux,

i ended up using a commodore tie rod end boot from an old one. Worked a treat, fitted up prefectly, came with elastic type band, fitted nicely and hasnt failed yet. Maybe like a vj style tie rod end. This was from repco, asked for a new boot for the paj, and he just bought out the boots he had and the commodore one fitted sweetly,

ask to see some of the onbes they got, its a boot after all, doesnt require perfect fitting

Dean,
I managed to get one from repco for the top, but they couldn't help with the bottom at all. I dunno why they're so hard to get.
Anyway I'll just keep looking.
I've still got a month off work with a fractured wrist! :bad-words:

which balljoints??? the a-arm balljoints??? lower??? pretty sure this is the one i replaced with a commodore type boot....

dean ;)

ps - bursons is a replacement parts specialist now like repco and supercheap. As far as i am aware they are a very melbourne based company as ive heard many people talk about bursons in melb, but i went into the new local bursons to me, west gosford, and they were crap.....think theyve got some deals to be done before they become popular in nsw.....

and Tas, and they are not that different to Repco. I buy heaps from them though, cause they have better customer service and they are usually a bit cheaper than Rip Every Poor ***** Off.

Bursons are very good for Dunnydores and Fords - they know where their bread and butter lies. Not so good for anything else. Some Landie and Yota bits at reasonable prices, but bugger all Mitsu bits.

Got to luve Commodore parts - they can be made to fit just about any 4x4, eg, idler pulleys, fans, engines, gearboxes etc etc. What would/will we do without them?

Thanks mate, but I ended up ordering some from Driveline Services Australia (Phone 4949 1500), they do suspension and stuff in Newie. They've got a full list of rubbber boots for the triton.

Thanks guys. :cool:
