Noticed today that my left upper BJ rubber boot has fallen apart,(see pic) so I'm assuming that I should replace the whole ball joint, right? (probably can't buy boot seperately)
It is a 3 bolt pattern on that side,which I thought was weird because on the right side,the pattern is 4 bolts,(2 on each side). Why the difference? I don't think they are original,I know I had the upper control arms changed when I got the car,but can't remember if I had the ball joints done too,it was years ago.
I numbered the bolts in the pic. 3 is hidden behind the hanging piece of rubber ! Number 4 I think is a grease nipple. Couldnt tell too good cos its covered in sh1t.
Ad for replacements,any particular brand that I should stay away from? They have $13.49,and $45.99 ones at Autozone,and at Partsamerica.com they have ones for $31.99. Any recommendations?
